SMARTach™ III Magnetic Encoder, 1-1/8" Hollow Shaft Mount

AV685 hollow shaft encoders survive the worst conditions: dust, dirt, liquid sprays, and temperature extremes from -40°C* to +120°C*!

The durable hollow shaft design tolerates huge axial movements, and withstands more shaft runout than any other encoder available.

The dual, replaceable sensors have fully potted electronics and are interchangeable between AV485, AV685, and AV850. And, they feature high-power outputs that drive long cable lengths easily. These AV5 SMARTach III sensors have the best protection of any encoder—from surges, wiring outputs to power, ground, between phases, or even short circuits!

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 AV5 Sensor is aligned with the rotor and reading signal. If at any time, the AV5 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. Even wiring errors and short circuits that cause an over-temp situation will be detected and indicated by changing the LED to orange.

So if you want the highest reliability most durable encoder in your mill, select AV685.
