The SV850 is the world's first safety rated no-bearing encoder for SIL 2 applications. Often, optical encoders fail because of dust or water contamination that prevents the sensor from seeing the optical disk. The SV850 advanced magnetic technology sees through contamination and the fully sealed circuit design ensures your machine keeps working, even in mill environments. The SV850 offers magnetic performance and moisture resistance!

SV850 SAFETach™ III safety modular magnetic encoders fit standard 8.5" FC-Face motors. Quite simply, the SV850 is designed to eliminate encoder failures. All SV850 electronics are fully encapsulated. There are no moving wearing parts.

Miswiring an encoder is common– and it shouldn’t cost you time or money. Wiring errors and short circuits that cause an over-temp situation will be detected and indicated by changing the LED to orange. The SV850 has full output short circuit and reverse voltage protection, plus surge protection. SV850 SAFETach III sensors digitally self-tune the outputs to eliminate drive trips caused by poor encoder signals. The universal 5-24V design drives longer cables and is protected against wiring errors and surges.

Adaptive Electronics: At power-up you know you installed it right! The green LED tells you your SV5 Sensor is aligned with the rotor and reading signal. If at any time, the SV5 cannot produce consistent signals, the LED changes to red and the optional remote alarm contact activates. However, the encoder keeps working to give you time to schedule service.

What good is a competitors "safety" encoder if it's optical and fails? Pick the SV850 for safety and reliability!
