Axial sensing requires a sensor head and a center magnet
The center magnet is attached centrally to the shaft end
The magnet consists of a pair of poles and provides an absolute signal with each rotation
An internal signal processing generates up to 16384 steps from the SinCos period
Mounting with axial scanning
When mounting the magnet, make sure that the magnetization direction of the permanent magnet (north-south pole) is aligned parallel to the active surface of the sensor
The permanent magnet should not be installed in ferromagnetic materials such as steel, as otherwise the working distance may be negatively affected
Permanently high IP protection class
Bearingless encoders easily achieve a high IP protection class, especially at high speeds
Without bearings, they do not require a complex sealing concept
The entire measuring system has no wearing parts, making the encoders extremely durable
In addition, magnetic sensing is very robust against shock, vibration, dirt, dust and textile fibers
Seawater-resistant options are available with HeavyDuty encoders
