BEI Sensors / Sensata HS52 Absolute Rotary Encoder

First in the industry: releases UL and ATEX level explosion-proof hollow shaft encoders. Sensor releases the industry's first UL and ATEX level explosion-proof hollow shaft encoder,model HS52. developed this ultra-rugged and space-saving industrial encoder to meet the high standards and certifications required for use in potentially explosive environments. The HS52 is capable of direct operation in Zone 1 and Zone 1 environments where,under normal operating conditions,ignitable concentrations of flammable gases,vapors or liquids may be present. This rugged and reliable encoder does not require accompanying intrinsic safety barrier,which simplifies installation and provides a more streamlined feedback system in explosion-proof environments. This hazardous work rotary encoder is housed in an enclosure that can withstand and contain The most volatile gases into the air mixture explode inside the enclosure. The HS52 housing features a flexible shaft bore design that allows for rigid mounting,preventing stress on the encoder bearings and providing a safer attachment for required hazardous area conduit fittings. Additionally,the compact hollow shaft design provides engineers with space-saving advantages over traditional shaft encoders. The HS52 hazardous load encoder is an ideal position sensing solution for the oil and gas industry,solvent refining operations,spray painting applications and explosive environments where space is limited and working conditions are extremely harsh.
