Wachendorff Introduces Universal Industrial Ethernet Encoder
Wachendorff is expanding its range of Ethernet-based encoders: Encoders with the EtherNet/IP protocol are now available, including the most compact in the world: the WDGA58F. Wachendorff's R&D team has succeeded in minimizing the sensor to an installation depth of just 46.5 mm.
The encoders are certified by the ODVA. The resolution in single and multi-turn can be individually configured via an integrated web server (single-turn 16-bit, multi-turn 43-bit).
The very high environmental data, e.g., temperature range from -40°C up to +85°C, shock 1,000 m/s² or vibration 50 m/s² at 10-2,000 Hz, allow the use in harsh industrial environments as well as in mobile working machines.
The devices with hollow end shafts eliminate the need for additional couplings and the devices with shafts guarantee a long-lasting and stable connection with their very high bearing loads of up to 400 N.
Power Transmission Engineering is THE magazine of mechanical components. PTE is written for engineers and maintenance pros who specify, purchase and use gears, gear drives, bearings, motors, couplings, clutches, lubrication, seals and all other types of mechanical power transmission and motion control components.
