Hollow shaft encoders with high dielectric strength

High dielectric strength – long service life
Insulating sleeve to protect the bearings from currents
Rugged and extremely thin thru-bore encoder

Incremental hollow shaft encoders are used in drive motors, especially in the areas of elevator construction, crane technology and wind energy. These applications require extremely rugged encoders. The WDG 100I series from Wachendorff Automation was specifically designed for these applications and the used mechanical and electronic components guarantee a long service life.
Particularly the design and the dimensions of the bearings ensure reliability and a long service life. The encoder is mounted directly on the motor shaft. The precisionbalanced clamping ring of the WDG 100I ensures the vibration-free operation of the encoder on the motor shaft. Apart from mechanical vibrations, so-called shaft currents can also affect the bearings and electronics of the encoder through the motor shaft. This can result in a gradual failure of the encoder mechanism – in particular the bearings – and impair the digital signals. A tailor-made, pre-assembled insulating sleeve protects the WDG 100I encoder against these shaft currents. The insulating sleeve is available in different diameters. It can be fitted quickly and easily. The perfectly matching shapes of the sleeve and the shaft as well as an integrated lock nut prevent them from accidentally falling out. Nevertheless it is possible to dismantlethe insulating sleeve and replace it in order to fit a different shaft diameter.

• High electric strength of 500 V
• Balanced stainless steel clamping ring for smooth running
• High noise immunity
• Operating temperature: -40 °C up to +80 °C
