BEI’s new LP series encoders suit extreme environments

The LP series features an aluminium housing with a nominal square size of 90 mm and is offered in three model variants with programmable resolution versions and a wide choice of shaft interfacing and electrical termination options. A compact cable or connector version facilitates straightforward installation in confined spaces whilst a terminal box option makes safe pre-wiring a possibility. Both these options are offered with a width of just 26 mm whilst the third version is a 51 mm wide ATEX-IECx rated explosion proof model with a terminal box.

Incremental encoder versions have HTL-TTL outputs with a maximum resolution of 10,000 ppr and are optionally available with a programmable resolution which also provides commutation channels. Absolute versions feature a single turn resolution of up to 16-bits with an SSI output – also available as a programmable option. Enhanced electronics options on some models provide protection against mis-wiring, overvoltage protection up to 60V, and strong signal output for longer cable runs.
