Description:

The EPR-WG is a robust absolute single-turn encoder designed specifically for use with the EPR16, EPR48, EPC16, and EPC48 programmable cam controllers. Its optoelectronic scanning ensures precise and wear-free operation, making it ideal for industrial applications.

Features:

• Resolution: 360 or 1000 steps per revolution
• Supported Codes: Binary or Gray-Excess-76-Code
• Push-pull outputs for flexible signal processing
• Short-circuit proof and reverse-polarity protected for enhanced safety
• Direct connection to EPR16, EPR48, EPC16, EPC48
• Reversible rotation direction (dependent on production year, see notes)
• Mechanically durable, suitable for high-speed operations

Technical Details:

• Scanning Method: Optoelectronic, contactless, and wear-free
• Material: Ball-bearing-mounted shaft for extended durability
• Mounting: Attach with 3 M4 screws on the front face
• Shaft Connection: Use an appropriate membrane coupling (accessory required)
• Signal Stability: Short-circuit proof and reverse-polarity protected outputs; load switching to supply voltage or 0V

Protection and Usage Conditions:

To prevent damage, observe the following:

• Avoid electrostatic discharge (do not touch electronics directly)
• Do not apply excessive force to the shaft
• Protect the device from impacts, shocks, and vibrations
• Avoid exposure to chemicals and extreme temperatures

Connection Options:

• Available with axial or radial connectors
• Matching shielded cables with connectors on both ends in various lengths available

Rotation Direction Note:

• Starting in 2020, rotation direction changes are no longer possible directly on the device.
• Use the adapter cable (Part No. 585738) for reversing the rotation direction.

Applications:

Perfect for industrial uses such as:

• Machine tools
• Packaging and labeling machines
• Production and testing automation
• Cleaning systems and textile machines

Accessories:

• Compatible cables and couplings (see accessory list)
