Description

Concept

The precision encoders GEL 295x are designed as an modular, application-specific encoder system and consist of a housing component and modular sensor systems. All rotary encoders GEL 295x are manufactured to drawing or application description. The technical specifications may vary from the technical data given. The modified specifications and the pin layout are to be found on the customerspecific dimensional drawing.



Construction and design

The series GEL 295x rotary encoders are extremely robust sensors for the measurement of rotary movements or positions on machines and vehicles. Due to their high resistance to condensation, spray and condensed water, as well as the very wide temperature range from -40 ° to +120 °, they are particularly suitable for use in rail vehicles or in heavy industry.
The housing component is available with solid shaft or hollow shaft including an integrated flexible precision hollow shaft coupling. The resilent encoder housing with a standard flange size of 115 mm is made of stainless steel. The electrical connection of the sensor system is variable, using plug connectors or cable outlets.
A very large number of customer-specific requirements can be met using the modular sensor system.
The GEL 295x offers particular advantages especially in relation to redundancy and safeguarding against failures. The rotary encoder comprises up to five separate sensors.
A Y number is assigned to customer-specific designs, this letter is appended to the product identifier (GEL 295xYxxx).



Notes on mounting

The flexible high-precision hollow shaft coupling compensates eccentricities, axial impacts and vibrations. The precision encoders are designed to be mounted on an expansion shaft with a diameter of 20 g7 mm. The expansion shaft must contain an inside thread, e.g. M12, to accept a hexagon socket set screw, and must not project more than 15 mm into the hollow shaft coupling. The set screw is screwed in, with its hexagon socket first, into the direction of the expansion shaft. A centring flange ensures the exact positioning of the high-resolution encoder in the mounting device.g

The rotary encoder with solid shaft must be connected with the drive shaft via a flexible coupling. The flexible clamp coupling type KK 14 is recommended. The degree of axial offset between the shaft ends directly influences the degree of the phase displacement. In particular, this must be taken into account for systems with high pulse numbers.



Sensing principle

The rotary encoders work with differential, magnetic-fielddependent sensors and a precision target wheel. The sensors scan without contact the tooth structure of the target wheel and output a sine and cosine voltage. The integrated evaluation electronics converts the analog sensor signals into incremental output signals.
By interpolation of the integrated evaluation electronics, the sinusoidal signals can be converted into rectangular output signals.
In the basic version, signal pattern K, V and X are available (see table). On request we check the feasibility of other signal patterns.



Possible pulse numbers

The possible pulse numbers depend on the signal output. The version with sine/cosine differential signal provides 256 pulses per revolution, signal pattern is K (smaller pulse numbers on request).
For signal pattern V and X, 150 or 256 pulses are supplied and interpolated. Hence the following pulses are available:
