Micronor's new MR316 ZapFREE(tm) Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder is designed for heavy duty, industrial motor drive applications requiring high reliability, EMI immunity, ATEX compliance, IP66 ingress protection and even operation in extreme temperatures. The sensor is size 90mm and features large 12mm keyed shaft and extra heavy duty bearings and shaft seals. Typical applications include petrochemical plants, oil rigs, steel mills, aerial cable cars, cranes and hoists.
The MR316's all-optical, totally passive design outperforms resolvers as well as conventional optical and magnetic encoders. Advantages include: wide operating range (-60°C/+150°C); outdistances copper cable; intrinsically safe and ATEX-compliant; immune to EMI/RFI and ground loops; unaffected by high magnetic fields; and radiation resistant.
The "passive" MR316 optically links to the "active" MR310 ZapFREEä Remote Encoder Interface (REI) Module via a single 62.5/125 multimode fiber link - up to 1000 meters (3280 feet) away. The module offers a wide range of standard interfaces: quadrature outputs (both push-pull and line driver), two analog outputs (4-20mA and +/-10V) and RS422/RS485 serial interface.
LIST Price is $1495 for MR316 for Standard Temperature (-40°C/+80°C) , $1794 for the MR316 with Extended Temperature option (-60°C/+150°C) and $1995 for the MR3...
