EB260 This encoder technology from sensor expert Baumer merges the precision of optical sensing with the durability and cost-efficiency of magnetic systems for signal processing. Its integrated Airgap Monitor technology continuously detects the distance to the magnetic rotor and reports even the slightest non-compliance due to damaged machine mechanics. It can be installed on all industrial machines by both machine users and machine builders.
What’s new? The EB260, available in the U.S. for about a year.
Benefits High signal quality and accuracy, and elimination of signal errors caused by installation, temperature, aging or mechanical factors, resulting in greater precision, maximum cost efficiency and superior reliability. Thanks to its 11mm installation depth and flexible diameter options, the compact EB260 fits in tight spots.
