Incremental rotary encoder HS35iQ

The new HS35iQ programmable encoder with PulseIQ™ technology from Hengstler helps users with troubleshooting and minimises downtime. The HS35iQ hollow shaft encoder with PulseIQ™ technology is a feedback device with self-diagnosis, coloured LED and digital output. The device opens up new possibilities for OEMs and end users to troubleshoot encoders in demanding machine applications, as it allows access to the encoder's functional status in real time. Specific error messages avoid unnecessary downtime and recommendations for corrective action allow users to resolve the underlying cause as quickly as possible. The encoder's patented technology immediately recognises if the mechanical coupling is not sufficiently tight or if the sizes of the shaft and bore do not match. This is a valuable function, as slippage of the coupling between the motor shaft and encoder can lead to undesirable encoder downtime. Another feature of the encoder is its overspeed alarms: they protect machines and employees from unsafe operating conditions. If the mechanical connection is loose or the shaft reaches critical speeds, the corresponding error displays change to indicate the error status before the failure occurs. Life cycle data and error status are available at any time in the built-in memory and can be retrieved via the PulseIQ™ encoder software.
