Hengstler/West
Hengstler Industrial Counter and Control Technology – from mini-counters to sophisticated programmable control counters, totalizing, preset, time, shift and interface counters, position indicators, multifunction counters, timers, controls, tachometers, displays.
Hengstler Shaft Encoders – advanced technology and high flexibilityare the essential features of Hegstler’s incremental and absolute encoders. Monolithic integrated OPOASICS replace up to 200 SMD components in a highly reliable way. The modular design enables users to select their desired version from more than 2 million encoder variants. ACURO Encoders – with this NEW encoder family, HENGSTLER offers the market a viable, future-oriented solution for industrial control engineering and integrated motor feedback applications. The name speaks for itself: ACURO stands for accuracy. However, this is but one of the many customer-oriented objectives that have been achieved with this new encoder concept.
WEST New Family of Industrial and Temperature Controllers proves its high quality – even under extreme conditions (2-point to 3-point control (PID). Our controllers excel by maximum user convenience, compact DIN sizes, state-of-the-art technology, and safety through self-optimization.
WHO is WEST?
Just as HENGSTLER, WEST INSTRUMENTS, Brighton/England, has become part of the US group of companies, DANAHER. WEST develops, manufactures and distributes temperature and process controllers, program controllers, limit indicators and displays. In addition, WEST distributes HENGSTLER products as well as other brands of US Danaher throughout Great Britain. Founded in 1956, WEST has been successful for many years with innovative controller designs. Two years ago, the particularly compact MLC series 900 could be presented, and a new generation of Industrial controllers is to be introduced early in 2003.
ACURO-XR® Series Encoders
ACURO-XR® family of absolute encoders expanded by integrating state-of-the-art, wear-free and highly reliable multiturn technology.
Encoders of the new ACURO-XR® series are your reliable partners for applications under harsh operating conditions. They are capable of withstanding highest acceleration rates, mechanical stresses, extreme climatic fluctuations and even underwater operating conditions.
The ACURO-XR® series is characterized by an extraordinarily rugged mechanical design, highest reliability and a long useful life. Its highly robust enclosure and generously dimensioned bearing easily cope with high axial and radial forces up to 300N. The PCB with its evaluation electronics, sensor asic and electronic multiturn features multiple fastening and protection against humidity, corrosion and contact breakage. Extremely high shock accelerations up to 2,000 m/s² and vibrations up to 200 m/s² are no problem for ACURO-XR®.
A high-grade sealing concept protects the encoder against penetrating liquids (IP69k). 12-bit resolution is achieved within one turn, and the encoder is equipped with new, electronic multiturn technology to detect and output the number of turns. It works wear-free, without any gears and contacts, without any moving parts, and without battery.
The max. multiturn resolution has been increased to 24 bits.
ACURO-XR® is accommodated in a compact 58-mm industrial-standard enclosure and excels by its extremely small installation depth of only
32 mm. Its wide temperature range reaching from -40 to +100 °C makes it suitable for a virtually unlimited field of applications.
Electrical and mechanical interface data of the ACURO-XR – family:
- Mechanical:
– Shaft: 10 mm diameter
– Combined clamping- / synchro-flange - Electrical:
– Digital: CANopen-, SSI- or BiSS-Interface,
– Analog: 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA
Being suitable for any type of connection, ACURO-XR® presents an extremely reliable and durable encoder solution for heavy-duty and outdoor applications.
