With the TRK38, TWK introduces an ultra-compact, single-turn, magnetic encoder developed with safety-oriented applications in mind. With a diameter and length of only 38 mm, the sensor is suitable for mounting in confined installation spaces.
The safety encoder detects position and speed and fulfills the requirements of SIL 2 (IEC 61508) and PL d (EN 13849). The position resolution is 16 bits per revolution. The certified EtherCAT FSoE interface ensures reliable transmission of the safety-related signals to the higher-level controller or to a safety relay, as well as programming of the sensor.
The aluminum housing and overall design enable long service life even under unfavorable conditions such as vibration and shock loads. The non-contact, wear-free measuring principle makes a significant contribution to this.
