Description

The Hengstler AC58 Series encoder utilizes high-resolution optical sensing technology to generate a unique binary code for each shaft position. This absolute output eliminates the need for a reference run after power cycles, providing immediate and unambiguous position data critical for system safety and operational efficiency in automated machinery.

Engineered for industrial durability, the encoder’s housing is sealed to IP67 standards, protecting the internal optical disc and electronics from dust ingress and temporary immersion. The unit’s wide operating voltage and temperature tolerance make it suitable for integration into factory automation, robotics, material handling, and CNC equipment where consistent, reliable feedback is paramount.

Key Features

  • Absolute optical encoding technology for instant position recognition.
  • Industrial-grade construction with IP67-rated housing for environmental protection.
  • High rotational speed tolerance up to 10,000 RPM for high-dynamic applications.
  • Broad operating voltage range (10-30 VDC) for flexible system integration.
  • Extended operational temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
  • Flange mounting design with a 19.5 mm shaft for secure mechanical installation.
  • Binary code output provides straightforward interface with PLCs and controllers.

Applications

  • Precision position feedback in CNC machine tools and multi-axis robotic arms.
  • Absolute angular measurement in automated material handling and conveyor systems.
  • Motion control and registration in packaging, printing, and converting machinery.
  • Shaft position monitoring in industrial drives, actuators, and rotary tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an absolute and an incremental encoder?

An absolute encoder outputs a unique digital code (like binary or Gray code) for each distinct shaft position, providing immediate position data upon power-up without requiring a homing sequence. An incremental encoder outputs pulse trains relative to movement and requires a reference point to determine absolute position after a power cycle.

What does the IP67 rating mean for this encoder?

The IP67 rating indicates the encoder is completely protected against dust ingress (first digit '6') and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes (second digit '7'). This makes it suitable for washdown environments and industrial settings with dust or moisture.

How do I interface the binary output with my PLC or microcontroller?

The binary output consists of parallel digital lines representing the shaft's absolute position. You must connect these lines to digital input channels on your PLC or microcontroller. The number of lines corresponds to the encoder's resolution (bit count), which defines the number of unique positions per revolution.

What is the maximum rotational speed this encoder can handle?

This Hengstler AC58 encoder is rated for a maximum rotational speed of 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM). Exceeding this speed may lead to mechanical wear, signal errors, or damage to the internal optical components.

Can this encoder be used in outdoor or high-vibration environments?

While the IP67 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water, and the operating temperature range extends to -40°C, the encoder's specific mechanical construction should be evaluated for high-vibration applications. For outdoor use, ensure the housing material is compatible with UV exposure and the mounting can withstand environmental stresses.
