Baumer has broadened its HeavyDuty encoder lineup with the introduction of the POG 86E, a solution focused on essential functionality without compromising reliability. This newcomer features an uncomplicated design housed within corrosion-proof aluminum construction.

Eliminating Unnecessary Costs Through Advanced Materials

Modern electric motors utilize advanced corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys for components like fan guards and connecting parts—making traditional protective varnishing obsolete where not required. By eliminating this step, manufacturers can significantly reduce costs without sacrificing durability in demanding environments. The POG 86E adds a solid shaft model to the established HOG 86 HeavyDuty family, with its bare aluminum housing offering particular value for users who do not require traditional varnishing or perform finishing operations internally.

Rugged Performance Meets High Standards

The POG 86E maintains Baumer’s HeavyDuty performance standards through its robust construction—walls exceed 10 mm in thickness to protect sensitive electronics from mechanical impacts. Featuring generously sized ball bearings at both ends, this encoder can withstand radial loads up to 350 N and axial forces of up to 250 N, delivering significantly longer service life compared to conventional single-bearing designs.

Reliable Sensing in Challenging Conditions

Employing an optical sensing principle with resolutions reaching up to 5000 ppr, POG 86E provides immunity from magnetic interference while maintaining consistent signal quality across extreme temperature variations and harsh environmental conditions. For safety-critical applications requiring redundancy, Baumer offers a twin-encoder configuration featuring two independently galvanically isolated channels sharing the same shaft.

Versatile Installation Options

All POG series encoders feature a 11mm solid shaft design compatible with Euro flange B10 mounts—the international standard for HeavyDuty encoder installations. The HOG86 E variant accommodates blind hollow shafts up to Ø16mm, providing additional installation flexibility.

Comprehensive Solutions for Demanding Applications

As part of Baumer’s complete incremental encoder portfolio, the 86 product family offers a comprehensive selection designed specifically for challenging industrial environments. Whether deployed in food processing, chemical handling, or other corrosive settings, customers can find the appropriate HeavyDuty solution within this range to meet their most demanding application requirements.
