Sensata encoders offer superior accuracy, increased reliability and enhanced data capabilities

Image of Sensata-BEI's Absolute and Incremental IO-Link Encoders Sensata's IO-Link encoders and position sensors are designed to increase machine productivity by reducing component cost, increasing implementation time and enhancing equipment diagnostics. As the cost of using Ethernet-based sensors and actuators in automation applications increases, Sensata integrates IO-Link technology into its encoders and sensors to provide superior accuracy, increased reliability and enhanced data capabilities. IO-Link is a digital point-to-point industrial communication network standard for connecting digital sensors and actuators to industrial fieldbus or industrial Ethernet applications. It is often considered the starting point for implementing an Industry 4.0 architecture.

These innovative sensing devices are built from the ground up for reliability and robustness. With a robust and reliable mechanical and electrical platform, this IO-Link encoder family is designed for reliability and toughness. Electrical protection is integrated to reduce first-time installation errors. On the mechanical side, high-precision sealed bearings mean extended service life even in harsh conditions. These units are rated for an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and are rated up to IP67, making them the perfect solution for heavy-duty industrial applications in a 58 mm package.

Sensata's IO-Link encoder and position sensor portfolio is based on sensing technology that provides the precision and robustness required for typical IO-Link applications found in factory automation, machine tools, production lines, intralogistics and packaging machinery. The incremental series includes a unique dual output option with incremental channel and absolute value via IO-Link. Radial or axial output orientation, M12 connector or cable output, solid shaft, blind or through shaft, different shaft sizes and a complete range of mounting accessories, there are available solutions for any application requirement.
