Description:

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

Features:

• Resolution: 360 or 1000 steps per revolution
• Supported Codes: Binary or Gray-Excess-76-Code
• Outputs: Short-circuit proof and reverse-polarity protected
• Signal Type: Push-pull outputs for flexible operation
• Compatibility: Direct connection to EPR16, EPR48, EPC16, EPC48
• Rotation Direction: Reversible (see notes)
• Mechanics: Ball-bearing-mounted shaft, highly durable

Technical Specifications:

• Scanning Method: Optoelectronic, contactless, and long-lasting
• Output Stages: Push-pull, for switching to supply voltage or 0V
• Robustness: Suitable for high speeds and demanding environments

Mounting:

• Attach with 3 M4 screws on the front face
• Connect the shaft using an appropriate membrane coupling (see accessories)

Protective Measures:

To avoid damage, observe the following precautions:

• Prevent electrostatic discharge when handling electronics
• Avoid applying excessive force on the shaft
• Protect from impacts, shocks, chemical exposure, and extreme temperatures
• Prevent strong vibrations and mechanical stress

Connection Options:

• Available with axial or radial connectors
• Matching shielded cables in various lengths available (see part numbers)

Applications:

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

Rotation Direction Notes:

• 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.
