The Acuro X65 offers the choice of SSI or CANopen interface, and it

is also possible to integrate the CANopen encoder in a ring network

configuration, increasing its flexibility of use.

Applications include winches, enamelling production lines, bottling

machines, mixers, silo works, mills, cranes and drilling equipment.

Hengstler encoders are available from official southernAfrican dis-

tributor, Countapulse Controls.The company operates a 24/7 technical

helpline to assist potential and existing customers.

Hengstler Acuro X65

Encoder that fits where others won’t

E

ncoders operating in potentially hazardous applications must

be engineered to deal with the demands of these environments,

such as petrochemical plants, mines and offshore platforms.

The Hengstler Acuro X65 is billed as the explosion proof absolute

encoder that will fit where other encoders won’t.The most compact

encoder in its class, the device has a shallow depth of 70 mm and a

body diameter of only 59 mm.This allows the encoder to be accom-

modated in extremely tight spaces with ease.

Certified explosion proof, this encoder is built with marine-grade

stainless steel and has a shock rating of 200 Gs and a shaft load of

300 N. It is protected to Class IP 66 and IP 67.

It can be installed quickly and easily due to its flexible quick-connect

terminal system.
