Rugged, compact, reliable ACURO-XR® Series Encoders

Automated Control Engineering (ACE) presents it new product in which it nationally distributes - the new expanded series of Hengstler ACURO-XR® absolute encoders. Expansion of the range was completed by integrating state-of-the-art, wear-free and highly reliable multi-turn technology into the products.



Encoders of the new ACURO-XR® series are reliable partners for applications under harsh operating conditions and they are capable of withstanding high acceleration rates, mechanical stresses, extreme climatic fluctuations and are fully functional in underwater operating conditions.

The ACURO-XR® series is characterised by an extraordinarily rugged mechanical design, highest reliability and a long useful life. Its highly robust enclosure and generously dimensioned bearing easily cope with high axial and radial forces of up to 300N. The PCB with evaluation electronics, sensor asic and electronic multi-turn features multiple fastening and protection against humidity, corrosion and contact breakage. Extremely high shock accelerations up to 2,000 m/s² and vibrations up to 200 m/s² are no problem for ACURO-XR®.

A high-grade sealing concept protects the encoder against penetrating liquids (IP69k). 12-bit resolution is achieved within one turn, and the encoder is equipped with new, electronic multi-turn technology to detect and output the number of rotations. It works with energy-independence, without any gears and contacts, without any moving parts, and without the use of batteries.

The max. multi-turn resolution has been increased to 24 bits.

ACURO-XR® is accommodated in a compact 58-mm industrial-standard enclosure and excels by its extremely small installation depth of only 32 mm. Its wide temperature range, reaching from -40 to +100 °C, makes it suitable for a virtually unlimited field of applications.

Being suitable for any type of connection, ACURO-XR® presents an extremely reliable and durable encoder solution for heavy-duty and outdoor applications.
