The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex has explosion protection according to ATEX / IECEx (gas: zones 1 and 2, dust: zones 21 and 22). With its pressure-resistant, thick-walled housing made of seawater-resistant aluminium, it is ideally suited for use in hazardous areas with heavy-duty requirements. The high-quality anodized coating offers high protection against corrosion.
FG 40 Ex: incremental optical encoders for potentially explosive atmospheres
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex works reliably even under extreme conditions in hazardous areas, e.g. in the oil and gas industry as well as in petrochemical applications.
The modern electronics of the incremental optical encoder is characterized by electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). It is embedded in a very robust, thick-walled housing.
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex offers a wide variety of device and signal options and can be optimally adapted to the respective area of application.
The incremental optical encoder FG 40 Ex can be easily integrated into existing mounting situations and plc systems. A wide range of mechanical accessories and engineering support ensure precise and safe assembly, even in difficult mounting locations.
We look forward to your challenges.
