H40 Shockproof Optical Encoder

The H40 is an ultraheavy-duty encoder whose internal structure is totally isolated from severe shock and shaft loading conditions.

  • Heavy construction protects against impact
  • Large diameter shaft designed to support very high loads
  • Field replaceable shaft/bearing assembly
  • Provided with side or end conduit attachment
  • Some models available with connectors

Intrinsic Safety Barrier

This Intrinsic Safety Barrier Module is the perfect complement to our Intrinsically Safe Encoders and, when used together, constitutes a completely engineered solution for encoder operation in Class I and Class II, Division 1 (Zone 0) Hazardous Environments. This single barrier provides both power and signal isolation for an incremental encoder with differential quadrature outputs and an index. This all-in-one approach saves the cost, inconvenience, and system design time needed when using separate power and signal barriers.

This barrier is galvanically isolated which eliminates the added cost of maintaining a high integrity earth ground. With differential line driver outputs, this barrier can be used to carry signals reliably up to 500 feet with a bandwidth of up to 250 kHz. It is designed around a standard DIN Rail mounting (Type EN 50022, 35 mm X 7.5 mm) for easy installation in standard enclosures. A length of DIN rail is supplied with each module. The module simply snaps directly to the DIN rail and is ready to use. The Intrinsic Safety Barrier Module is also certified to be installed in Class I, Div. 2 (Zone 2) areas.

Frameless BLDC Motors

BEI Kimco’s frameless motor part set design allows for the motor to be fully integrated within the customer assembly resulting in the highest ratio of torque to volume.

In this configuration, the motor’s rotor and stator are housed within the customer’s “next higher” assembly utilizing a common shaft and bearing system. This results in increased coupling efficiencies, and reduced system size, weight, and cost. The high magnetic pole count pancake “torquer” motor produces exceptionally low cogging for smooth low-speed operation and high-accuracy positioning applications.
