MR344 Hollow Shaft Rotary Incremental Encoder

MR324_Sensor_01

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.

Specifications

Measurement Parameters  
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.). Contact Micronor to discuss your requirements.
