A rugged and durable new incremental encoder – the
Elma E33 – that can be used in applications ranging from routine industrial
automation to state-of-the-art weapon systems is set to move the world of
electronic encoding on to the next
generation.
Developed after years of research by the precision
manufacturing innovators at the Elma Group in Switzerland, the E33 is now being
introduced and provides a truly versatile, low-profile encoder that meets the
highest specifications.
The E33
incorporates:
n
16 or 32 detents standard resolution
n
Robust metal housing with metal shaft
n
A rotational life of 200,000
revolutions
n
11.5 x 12.3 x 4.9 mm body size
n
Excellent indexing feel with 1.5, 2 or 2.5 Ncm constant switching
torque
n
Operating temperature range of between -40 and
+85°C
Supplied with or without push-button switches, and
with optional IP67 front panel sealing, the E33 boasts a unique combination of
ruggedness and an excellent indexing feel. Its versatile and scalable system
platform means it can be used for highly individual, customer-specific
solutions, and supplied even in small
quantities.
The E33’s shaft dimensions and shapes can be
customised to meet specific application requirements, as can its indexing
resolution and PPR. It is ideal for value and menu control; instrumentation and
test equipment for avionics; frequency and channel setting for transceivers; user interface controls for
medical devices; volume and menu setting for transportation
control and entertainment systems. |
