The GA240 - SSI: Baumer Multiturn 16 bit Resolution Encoder is engineered with advanced optical sensing to deliver 16-bit multiturn feedback with high absolute accuracy of Β±0.025Β°. It operates using a 10...30 VDC supply, and optionally 5 VDC Β±10%, supporting both SSI and Incremental A 90Β° B interfaces. This makes it highly adaptable to various control systems, from PLCs to motion controllers. The encoder is designed with a ΓΈ10 mm solid shaft and comes with flexible connection options including M23 (12-pin), M12 (8-pin), or 1-meter cable, ensuring easy integration into panels or machines. Its mechanical speed rating of β€10000 rpm and electrical speed of β€6000 rpm allows it to function reliably in high-speed applications. The starting torque is as low as 0.015 Nm under IP54, which increases slightly under IP65 for dust and splash protection. Built from high-grade aluminium housing and flange, it can withstand harsh industrial conditionsβsuch as 200 g shock and 10 g vibrationβmeeting EN 60068 standards. With a low rotor moment of inertia (14.5 gcmΒ²) and lightweight build (approx. 250 g), the GA240 reduces system load and improves rotational responsiveness. It also functions across a wide temperature range of -25Β°C to +85Β°C (up to -40Β°C on request), suitable for extreme environments in steel, packaging, or assembly lines.
The Baumer GA240 - SSI is ideal for rotary position tracking in fast-moving and high-precision equipment. Itβs frequently used in servo motor feedback systems, conveyor automation, robotic joints, metal-cutting machines, and CNC platforms where multiturn accuracy and durability are essential. Engineers prefer this model when exact position tracking over multiple rotations is needed without resetting. Its compact design and high rotational tolerance make it a perfect fit for modern machinery where space, speed, and stability must go hand in hand. Whether in packaging lines or smart manufacturing setups, the GA240 - SSI delivers consistent results with zero compromise on signal integrity or mechanical robustness.
