Baumer, a renowned sensor expert, has unveiled its latest addition to the compact multiturn encoder portfolio—specifically designed for mobile machines. The new non-contact encoder, named EB360R, promises reliable and maintenance-free operation even in harsh environments. This innovative solution underscores Baumer’s commitment to merging peak performance with compact design, delivering precise angle position feedback and speed monitoring capabilities regardless of dirt, moisture, or extreme temperatures.

Key Features:

  • Long-Term Durability: Fully encapsulated electronics ensure resistance against liquid ingress and dust accumulation.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Protects the encoder from harsh outdoor conditions.
  • IP69K Protection: Meets stringent requirements for moisture and dust resistance.
  • Vibration & Shock Resistance: Enduring up to 500 g, making it ideal for demanding applications in construction vehicles, agricultural machinery, and working platforms.

How It Works

The EB360R operates on a non-contact sensing principle. Unlike traditional rotary encoders with mechanical parts, this encoder features separate magnetic rotor technology that eliminates wear and tear. The sensor itself is mechanically and thermally decoupled from the environment, ensuring uninterrupted performance even in challenging conditions.

Design Philosophy:

  • Minimalized housing size (22 mm height) for seamless integration into machine designs.
  • Maximum precision combined with compactness—EB360R sets a new benchmark for non-contact multiturn encoders.

Performance & Testing

The EB360R has undergone rigorous testing to ensure long-term reliability and durability in harsh environments. It successfully passes conventional tests like IP67 and IP69K, but its performance doesn’t stop there:

  • Temperature resilience: Operates reliably from -40°C to 85°C.
  • Simulated accelerated aging: Proven endurance in high-stress scenarios, including cyclic heating followed by submersion in saltwater.

Applications

The EB360R is tailored for mobile machinery requiring precise angle measurement and speed feedback. Its versatility extends across industries:

  • Construction equipment (excavators, dump trucks).
  • Agricultural machines (harvesters, tractors).
  • Working platforms and other vehicles demanding high precision under harsh conditions.
