MA4501 incremental encoder

MA4501 incremental encoder

Incremental encoder for speed feedback with integrated mechanical overspeed switch. With new features such as a breathable membrane filter and double shaft seal, this new series is designed for harsh environments. The MA4501 series is a range of encoders that supports combinations with integrated speed monitoring switches. Overspeed detection is based on a mechanical centrifugal force principle. Once a set speed limit is exceeded, the switch opens/closes, indicating the speed trip via dedicated electrical outputs. These outputs can make/break a contact or a 230V, 6A relay. Overspeed monitoring, combined with standard incremental outputs, makes the MA4501 suitable for use in safety-critical applications.

Features MA4501 Incremental Encoder

The extremely robust design and encapsulation of the encoder series make it suitable for use in marine or offshore environments. Due to safety considerations, crane applications are a standard application for the series. The MA4501 is supplied with an 11 mm solid shaft with a 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.
