Product Description

The 63-AADF-1800-A0> is an optical incremental encoder designed by < Automation to be used in production and processing systems. This encoder unit is particularly suited for industrial applications; it operates at a high accuracy and resolution level and features high immunity to magnetic interference. The encoder unit is installed inside a metallic housing that is coated to protect it from coming in contact with water or solid particles like dust; this level of protection provided by the housing is classified under the IP66 category. There is a metallic shaft attached to this encoder; the shaft can reach an operating speed of about 5000 revolutions per minute during operation. The permissible shaft options for this converter unit include 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch shafts.

The 63-AADF-1800-A0 encoder unit is an indoor device that is able to function at a resolution as high as 2540 pulses per revolution. The high resolution of the encoder guarantees fine control in applications requiring micro-movement, automation and instrumentation. The signal format of this encoder unit is a two-channel quadrature; it also features an optional index (Z) and complementary outputs. Unlike conventional industrial machines, the 63-AADF-1800-A0 only draws about 80 milliamperes of current from its power supply unit; it also operates with a power supply of between 5 to about 26 volts.

Ambient temperatures around this product unit should be maintained below 45 degrees Celsius, also a minimum frequency response of about 100 kilohertz should be permitted around the encoder. The possible connection options for this encoder design include MS connector, M12 connector and cable exit types. The material used in the design of the housing of this product unit is an aluminum plate; it is preferred for its high mechanical strength.
