The Baumer Multiturn Absolute Encoder optoTurn EAL580-B - PROFINET is built for demanding applications requiring accurate position tracking over multiple revolutions. Powered by a 10–30 VDC voltage supply with reverse polarity protection, it offers stable performance even in challenging electrical conditions. The optical sensing method provides long-term reliability, and its total resolution of up to 31 bits ensures precise multiturn measurement. Absolute accuracy reaches ±0.01° in ST 18 bit / MT 13 bit configuration, supporting applications that require ultra-fine motion control.
Its compact ø58 mm flange and blind hollow shaft (ø10...15 mm) design allow seamless integration into rotary systems like motors and robotic joints. The encoder includes 4 integrated LED indicators for instant status visibility. Thanks to its IP54, IP65, and IP67 protection ratings, it can operate in dusty, moist, and vibration-heavy industrial environments. The robust zinc die-cast housing with aluminium flange offers mechanical strength while maintaining lightweight build at just 500 g. It operates at up to 6000 rpm for both mechanical and electrical loads, with a low starting torque of ≤0.04 Nm—ideal for dynamic machinery. The flange connector 3xM12 ensures secure PROFINET connectivity and fast installation in field conditions.
The optoTurn EAL580-B - PROFINET is widely deployed in automated production lines, packaging machinery, smart material handling systems, and servo-driven platforms. Its multiturn capability makes it ideal for axis tracking in CNC machines and lift systems where complete revolution data is critical. OEM designers value the integrated PROFINET IO interface for synchronized control with industrial PLCs. Maintenance engineers rely on its diagnostics-ready LED indicators and durable construction for minimal downtime. This Baumer Multiturn Absolute Encoder is engineered for those who demand accuracy, speed, and long-term dependability in digital factories and Industry 4.0-ready automation environments.
