Meet the Hengstler AX65, designed to excel in the most demanding encoder applications. When it comes to challenges like operating in explosive atmospheres, continual exposure to saltwater, enduring shock loads exceeding 100 G, and handling shaft loads of hundreds of Newtons, the AX65 stands out. It doesn’t just meet these individual requirements; it excels in meeting all of them simultaneously.
Certified explosion-proof and crafted with marine-grade stainless steel, the AX65 is a rugged solution. With an impressive shock rating of 200 G and a shaft load capacity of 300 N, it proves its resilience. Being the most compact absolute encoder in its class, with a shallow depth and a body diameter of only 59 mm, the AX65 fits into spaces where other explosion-proof encoders cannot.
Ideal for applications on offshore oil platforms, mines, chemical plants, and more, the AX65’s explosion-proof certification and marine-grade stainless steel construction ensure reliability in harsh environments. The high shaft load rating eliminates the need for load modules, reducing costs.
Installation is swift and straightforward, thanks to the flexible quick-connect terminal system. The AX65 offers a choice between SSI or CANopen interfaces, allowing for a ring network configuration and potential savings on wiring costs.
When it comes to demanding encoder applications, the Hengstler AX65 is the epitome of toughness, resilience, and adaptability.
