In today’s increasingly automated world, mobile machinery faces growing demands for safety solutions without necessarily increasing costs. To address this challenge, Baumer has introduced the new EAM580RS encoder – a revolutionary safety solution designed specifically for harsh outdoor environments and deployment in mobile machines such as loaders, tower cranes, and mobile working platforms.

Safe, Robust, Precise: Engineered for Harsh Conditions

The EAM580RS is more than just an industrial encoder. It’s been specially developed to withstand rough conditions encountered in outdoor applications and mobile machinery environments.

Key Safety Features:

  • Constructed with a stainless steel casing that protects against aggressive environmental factors
  • Immune to shock and vibrations for reliable performance
  • Meets the latest functional safety requirements (SIL2/PLd according to IEC 61508, ISO 13849:2023 and IEC 61800-5-3)

Performance Excellence:

This powerful encoder excels in precision and features ultra-fast transmission rates. Its superior performance significantly boosts machinery efficiency when installed.

Simplified Safety Engineering

The EAM580RS reduces implementation effort and costs by providing a safety certification that simplifies additional documentation. This accelerates engineering work and system certification – valuable time savings for equipment manufacturers.

Easy Configuration:

The new encoder offers user-friendly secondary data features, including information on revolutions, operating time, input voltage (for machine monitoring), among other parameters. Using Baumer’s Sensor Suite freeware, the EAM580RS can be easily configured to meet diverse requirements.

Availability

EAM580RS with clamping flange is immediately available. The hollow shaft design will be available starting in Q1 2024.
