Rotary encoder TBA36

Displacement sensors models 8710 and 8711 with resistance tracks made of conductive plastic material are designed for a direct and accurate measuring of mechanical displacements. A special ball joint coupling is mountable on both ends of the driving rod. Because of this the sensor may be used free of clearance or lateral forces also with angular or parallel misalignment between sensor and measuring device. A special multi-fingered slider provides a good electrical contact also at high adjustment speeds or vibrations. Areas of application are: —Electromagnets —Switch and button deflections —Pneumatic cylinders —Press-fits (longitudinal press-fits) —Hydraulic cylinders —Measurements of deformation and bending —Length tolerances —Feeding paths Due to the technology employed in potentiometric displacement sensors, they always operate with a sliding contact system.

The AH36M rotary encoder with teach-in function is a magnetic absolute value encoder with analog output. The user himself can set the rotary encoder's desired measurement range via two external inputs. The device features a batteryless multi-turn technology. Absolute analog encoder. 12 Bit (4096) resoluttion over the measuring range. Operating tmperature until -40 °C. Voltage (0 … 10 V)/ current (4 … 20 mA) outputs. Programmable measuring range via teach-in function with external inputs. Hollow shaft with ø6 mm.

When, some 60 years ago conductive plastic potentiometers were first introduced onto the market, it was apparent that although the winding jumps which were a feature of wire-wound potentiometers had been overcome, absolute smoothness of the output voltage could not be achieved. Following some basic reserach by. h. Wormser 4, 5, 6 , the term "smoothness" was included in the standard issued by the Variable Resistive Compontents Institute (VRCI). Although this definition was adequate at that time it cannot serve as a system definition for many applications. This is because it is now possible to produce potentiometers with appreciably better smoothness and linearity values. For this reason, Novotechnik has sought over the past years to develop definitions better suited to the current state fo the art. The various methods used are discussed and evalutated below.
