HEIDENHAIN Offers Safety-oriented Rotary Encoders In a Small Footprint


Opening up the market for innovations in the automation, medical, and electronics equipment industries, HEIDENHAIN Corporation offers a new generation of rotary encoders with IP 64 protection, absolute position-value formation, and functional safety, all within a 35 mm diameter housing size.  These small rotary encoders are known as HEIDENHAIN’s 1000 Series and are designed to be especially useful as single-encoder measurement feedback systems in safety-oriented applications.

HEIDENHAIN’s safety-oriented position encoders with functional safety provide two independently formed position values via a serial EnDat interface.  They are certified according to the EN ISO 13849, EN 61508 and EN 954-1 standard for performance level d, safety integrity level 2 and category 3, respectively.  The EnDat 2.2 version of these new absolute rotary encoders with serial data transfer offers a single-turn resolution of 23 bits, and a multi-turn resolution of 12 bits. The supply voltage range is from 3.6 V to 14 V.

Eight new rotary encoders round out HEIDENHAIN’s 1000 Series including the
ECN 1013, ECN 1025, EQN 1025, EQN 1035, ROC 1013, ROC 1025, ROQ 1025 and ROQ 1035.
