AX65 Stainless Steel ATEX Absolute Rotary Encoder with CANopen

The ATEX-approved explosion-proof Hengstler AX65 absolute rotary encoder with CANopen (Controller Area Network) fieldbus technology, made of high-grade stainless steel, is used in atmospheres where mists, gasses, vapours, or clouds of dust are present where atmospheres are dangerous or have the potential to combust.

The Hengstler EX-certified AX65 absolute rotary encoder complies with the ATEX directive for use within Group I Category M2 (mining) and Group II Category 2, zones 1 and 21 (gas and dust).

The AX65 encoder is constructed using high-grade stainless steel housing (1.4404/316L) for the most volatile conditions, particularly suited to applications where extreme radial or axial shaft loading up to 300N and shock and vibration occurs, where high corrosion resistance is an absolute necessity.

Mounting options are synchro clamping flange with resolutions up to 16-bit single-turn and 12-bit multi-turn. The shaft size is 10mm with a protection class rating of up to IP66/IP67.

The supply voltage is 10 to 30V DC. A user-friendly terminal box with M20 threaded connections offers a free choice of cable connection, and the removable casing provides fast and easy field installation.

Encoders are RoHS-compliant and CE-marked.
