MICRONOR Offers High Resolution, Hollow Shaft Fiber Optic Encoder for Harsh Environments
MR314 ZapFREE Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder by MicronorMicronor’s new MR314 ZapFREE™ High Resolution Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder was designed for large drive and rotary shaft applications requiring EMI immunity, higher resolution (1024ppr) and the mounting convenience of a traditional hollow shaft encoder package. There are no integral electronics within the encoder housing and the all-optical design requires just a single optical fiber connection – the utmost in simplicity, reliability and ease of installation. The MR314’s totally passive design outperforms conventional optical and magnetic rotary encoders over a wide range of harsh and/or hazardous environments: wide extended operating range (-60°C/+150°C); outdistances copper cable; intrinsically safe and ATEX-compliant; immune to EMI/RFI and ground loops; unaffected by high magnetic fields; and radiation resistant. Special versions can be easily engineered for thermal-vac environments. ...More >>
