Encoder Products Company (EPC) introduced the Model 30MT, a low-profile 30-mm. diameter magnetic encoder module. By means of ideal sensing and signal processing technology, the Model 30MT provides accurate incremental feedback, even in harsh operating conditions. With its threaded housing, the Model 30MT is simple to install.
Designed for tough industrial environments, the Model 30MT offers sealing up to IP69K and is virtually impervious to dust, dirt, and moisture. The Model 30MT features a chemically inert high-temperature nylon composite housing and non-contact magnetic sensing. The encoder can operate in temperatures from -40º C to 120º C. With a generous sensor-to-magnet air gap of 0.022”, the Model 30MT holds ratings of 100g @ 11ms for shock and 20g @ 10 to 3000 Hz for vibration.
Even with its housing, the Model 30MT features advance signal processing circuitry, which allows for a wide sensor-to-magnet air gap while still providing excellent waveform symmetry and repeatability, and delivering signal accuracy.
The Model 30MT is a versatile solution for non-contact, end-of-shaft rotary feedback in commercial, industrial and non-industrial applications. Some examples are: servo or stepper motor control; mobile equipment speed and steering sensing; timber processing machinery; studio and stage equipment; solar panel positioning; vending machines; rotary valve positioning; punch presses; and robotics.
