Safe explosion protection through ATEX-compliant housing
A particular challenge for shaft encoders are explosive atmospheres such as transfer systems in painting lines, filling/bagging stations in grain mills, petrol pumps at filling stations, or geothermal energy environments.
As an accredited manufacturer of explosion-proof enclosures, we offer ATEX-compliant absolute encoders with housings made of aluminium or stainless steel for hygienically sensitive applications. The housings are encapsulated in a pressure-resistant way and can be used under the harshest conditions of temperature class T6 in Zone 1 (gases) or 21 (dusts). The enormous selection of interfaces will include the right shaft encoder for every need.
If it has to be both SIL and ATEX: Maximum functional safety (SIL3/PLd) and explosion-proof for Zone 1/21. The SIL3 encoders, e.g. for painting lines, process engineering …
