Engineered for accuracy and durability, the Baumer optoTurn EAL580-T - EtherCAT delivers precise multiturn absolute position feedback with a resolution of up to 31 bits and angular accuracy of Β±0.01Β°. The encoder operates on a 10...30 VDC power supply with reverse polarity protection and consumes β€100 mA at 24 VDC. Its through hollow shaft design (ΓΈ10 to 14 mm) supports direct coupling on motor shafts, improving mechanical alignment and ease of integration. With a robust EtherCAT interface, this encoder ensures high-speed, deterministic data transmission for synchronized multi-axis systems. The integrated 4x LED indicators simplify diagnostics during commissioning and operation. It supports β€6000 rpm for both mechanical and electrical operations, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic applications.
Constructed for industrial resilience, the housing is made from zinc diecast and paired with an aluminium flange, delivering long-term durability even in harsh environments. Certified with IP54, IP65, and IP67 protection ratings, the encoder resists dust, moisture, and oil exposure. The encoder also handles high mechanical stresses, with shock resistance up to 100 g and vibration resistance of 10 g as per EN 60068 standards. The starting torque is β€0.04 Nm, while the rotor moment of inertia is limited to 20 gcmΒ² for smooth motion. Operating temperature ranges from -40 to +85 Β°C, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor automation environments. The connection is streamlined with a flange connector 3xM12, ensuring stable and quick electrical installation.
The Baumer Through Hollow Shaft Absolute Encoder optoTurn EAL580-T - EtherCAT is ideal for high-precision motor feedback, rotary indexing tables, robotic arms, and heavy-duty conveyor systems. Its hollow shaft configuration simplifies installation on servo motors and direct-drive axes without the need for additional coupling hardware. In packaging, bottling, and textile machines, this encoder ensures position consistency and repeatability at high operational speeds. Its EtherCAT interface makes it a top choice for Industry 4.0 systems requiring fast communication and closed-loop control. Whether itβs used in automated manufacturing lines, machine tools, or energy systems, this encoder delivers industrial-grade precision and long-lasting performance that maintenance teams can trust.
