In the world of industrial automation, precision and reliability are paramount. Bearings, while essential in many applications, come with inherent limitations—wear and tear, maintenance requirements, and susceptibility to environmental factors. But what if there was a solution that completely eliminated these issues? Enter the EB360 bearingless encoder—a revolutionary device designed for maximum performance without compromising on durability or compactness.

A Compact Marvel Designed for Harsh Environments

The EB360 is an ultra-compact multiturn encoder measuring just 22 mm in height, making it one of the smallest non-contact encoders available today. But size isn’t its only remarkable feature—it’s also designed to withstand harsh conditions, delivering precise angle and speed feedback even in dusty, dirty, or wet environments. This robustness makes it ideal for demanding industrial applications where reliability is critical.

Wear-Free Design Meets Unmatched Performance

Unlike traditional encoders with mechanical bearings that require regular maintenance and can fail over time, the EB360 operates on a non-contact principle. With no moving parts to wear out, this encoder eliminates costly downtime and reduces the need for frequent repairs. This design philosophy aligns perfectly with Baumer’s commitment to innovation in encoder technology—minimalist engineering meets maximum performance.

The precision of the EB360 is exceptional, boasting accuracy within +/- 0.3 degrees—a benchmark for its size and category. Whether it’s powering textile machines, packaging systems, or medical equipment, this encoder delivers reliable data without interruption. And with an IP67 (or optional IP69K) rating, it’s fully encapsulated to keep out liquids, fibers, and dust—ensuring uninterrupted operation even in the toughest settings.

A Space-Saving Solution for Modern Machines

The EB360’s compact design isn’t just convenient; it opens up new possibilities for machine integration. Its modular structure simplifies installation, allowing engineers greater flexibility in designing complex systems without compromising on space constraints. For industries where real estate is limited and performance demands are high, this encoder offers a win-win solution.
