MA4501 Incremental Encoder

MA4501 incremental encoder

Incremental encoder for speed feedback with integrated mechanical overspeed switch. With new features such as breathable membrane filter and double shaft seal, this new series is designed for harsh environments. The MA4501 series is a range of encoders that support combinations with integrated speed monitoring switches. The overspeed detection is based on a mechanical centrifugal principle. Once a set limit speed is exceeded, the switch indicates the speed trip when opening/closing via dedicated electrical outputs. These outputs can close/break a contact or relay with 230V and 6A. The overspeed monitoring in conjunction with normal incremental outputs makes the MA4501 suitable for use in safety-related applications.

Features MA4501 Incremental Encoder

The extremely robust design and encapsulation of the encoder series makes it suitable for use in marine or offshore environments. Due to the safety aspect, the crane is a standard application for the series. The MA4501 is supplied with an 11mm solid shaft with keyway to prevent slippage. The mounting flange is compatible with previous tachogenerator interfaces including a B10 mounting flange. The entire construction is made of high quality stainless steel.
