When an automation system requires a high degree of risk mitigation of failure modes, often times Functional Safety equipment can be a part of the solution. Sensata | BEI Sensors offers a wide range of Functional Safety encoders to fit most any application or electrical interface requirement. Rated at SIL3 (PLe), these encoders allow safe operation in set-up, production and maintenance modes, significantly reducing operational risks. All encoders have the option of a Digital HTL or TTL operation as an alternative to the Sine/Cosine outputs found on most Functional Safety encoders. This makes them a compatible replacement for existing encoders when migrating to a higher safety level of operation. The DST5H series incorporates a hollow shaft-style mounting that can accept shafts up to 14 mm in diameter. It is mounted with a stator coupling kit and a clamp to secure it to the shaft. The encoder body is 58mm in diameter.

Features

• Usable up to SIL3 and Cat.4 / PLe according to IEC 61508 / EN ISO 13849
• Suitable for safe motor feedback according to IEC 61800-5-2
• Robust and excellent resistance to shock and vibration
• High protection level: IP65
• High temperature performance –20°C to +85°C
• 58mm standard size encoder
• Multiple shaft configurations:
• Through hollow shaft: 9.52mm to 14mm
• Other shaft configurations available (solid, blind, tapered)
• Wide choice of connection configurations
• Power supply 5Vdc or 11 – 30Vdc
• Digital TTL/RS422, HTL or sine/cosine 1Vpp output
• Resolutions up to 2500ppr

Applications

• Industrial automation
• Automated guided vehicles
• Mills for lumber, steel and other metals
• Printing and packaging equipment
• Food processing equipment
• Forming and die presses
