AR62 | AR63 Robust Heavy Duty Absolute Rotary Encoder

Hengstler AR series (AR62 | AR63) heavy-duty absolute rotary encoders are lightweight aluminium or high-grade stainless steel, compact yet robust with the highest protection class within the Hengstler range of up to IP69K.

The AR series encoder can operate at -40°C to +100°C, have excellent shock and vibration resistance, and withstand continuous axial or radial shaft loading of 300N.

The AR series encoder is an excellent and reliable choice for many industrial automation fields; it is also submersible, particularly suited to high-corrosion marine applications, including wind farms.

Aluminium housing ensures the encoder is light yet robust, suited to industrial applications where temperature extremes, shock and vibration are likely to occur.

Stainless steel housing is particularly suited to applications where high corrosion resistance is required, such as chemical or food production washdown areas.

Mounting options are synchro clamping or square flange with resolutions up to 16-bit single-turn and 12-bit multi-turn. Shaft sizes are 9.52mm and 10mm solid shaft with protection class ratings of IP69K.

Cables or M12 connectors are radial. The supply voltage is 17V to 30V DC for analogue or 10V to 30V for digital options.

Options include analogue 0 to 10V, 4 to 20mA, SSI binary or Gray code, or CANopen.

Encoders are RoHS-compliant, UL-approved, and CE-marked.
