The Baumer optoTurn EAL580-SV - EtherCAT features a solid shaft of ø6 x 10 mm and a rugged Synchro flange design that ensures secure mounting and long-term mechanical stability. Powered by a 10...30 VDC supply with reverse polarity protection, it consumes less than 100 mA without load, ensuring energy efficiency. With EtherCAT communication, the encoder provides real-time data transmission critical for high-speed control systems. Its optical sensing method delivers exceptional accuracy—up to ±0.01° with a total resolution of 31 bits across multiturn and single-turn operations. The device supports both mechanical speeds up to 10,000 rpm and electrical speeds up to 6,000 rpm, backed by an integrated 4x LED status indicator for instant diagnostics.
Engineered for industrial resilience, the housing is made of zinc diecast while the flange is constructed from aluminum, delivering reliable operation across a wide temperature range from -40 to +85 °C. The encoder complies with IP54, IP65, and IP67 protection ratings, and withstands high shock (100 g for 2 ms) and vibration levels (10 g up to 2000 Hz), meeting EN 60068 standards. Its low starting torque and minimal rotor inertia of 20 gcm² allow seamless integration with servo systems and lightweight axes. The flange connector 3xM12 ensures easy and robust connectivity, reducing installation time and minimizing errors in data transmission.
The Baumer Solid Shaft with Synchro Flange encoder is purpose-built for use in high-precision automation systems. In robotics, it ensures smooth multi-joint coordination with real-time position updates. On packaging and printing lines, it enables accurate registration control and synchronized motion across fast-moving units. For machine tools and textile machines, its compact ø58 mm flange fits into tight spaces while maintaining measurement accuracy. This encoder also excels in conveyor tracking, servo motor feedback, and wind turbine monitoring—anywhere where durability, accuracy, and real-time feedback are essential. Whether you’re modernizing legacy equipment or building new smart machinery, the EAL580-SV - EtherCAT delivers trust and performance you can count on.
