MR344
ZapFREE® Hollow Shaft Fiber Optic Incremental Encoder
The MR344 ZapFREE® Heavy Duty Hollow Shaft Fiber Optic Incremental Sensor is an entirely passive, intrinsically safe, fiber optic incremental rotary encoder – ideal for a wide range of harsh and hazardous environmental applications. The passive, all-optical sensor connects to the remote controller via a standard duplex 62.5/125 multimode optical fiber link.
The remote MR340 Controller Module transmits and converts optical signals to/from the sensor. The Controller’s multiple built-in interfaces insure compatibility with industry standard motor drives, PLCs, quadrature counters and motion control systems.

| Resolution | 1024ppr |
| Max Speed |
3,000 RPM continuous (MR320 Quadrature Outputs and Analog Outputs activated ONLY) 3,600 RPM short term (< 1 minute) (NOTE: At 3,000 RPM, MR344 housing temperature rises by 25°C above ambient due to bearing friction. Environmental temperature must be reduced accordingly. There is also a trade-off between operating speed and use of the MR340 auxiliary functions (analog outputs, divider, multiplier, etc.).
