ENERGY + ENVIROFICIENCY
Turck
offers its customers a robust stainless steel variant
of the contactless, inductive encoder QR24. The new EQF24
variant of the wear-free encoder is suitable for use in the food
industry as well as in many other applications. With the V4A
stainless steel housing (1.4404) and the active surface made
of PA12-GF30 plastic, the device withstands even aggressive
chemicals and high pressures in the cleaning process.The new
EQF24 is available with incremental output and SSI interface.
As with other QR24 models, the sensor and the positioning
element of the encoder are fully potted and designed as two
independent and fully sealed units that withstand vibration or
shocks on the shaft.Wear-intensive ball bearings or seals, that
lead tomachine downtimes or longmaintenance times are not
required.The QR24 series has the edge over both optical and
magnetic encoders.Thanks to its intelligent mounting concept
using adapter rings, the permanently sealed IP69K encoders
can be fitted on all standard shafts with diameters up to 20mm.
As well as the new stainless steel variants,Turck also offers the
encoder as a multiturn or singleturn version with an SSI inter-
face, incremental output and analogue voltage/current output.
