In today’s demanding industrial environments, reliability and precision are paramount. Recognizing this need, Baumer has introduced its latest absolute encoder series—HMG 10 and PMG 10—which set a new benchmark in performance while maintaining the durability expected from HeavyDuty encoders.

Revolutionary Design for Maximum Longevity

These encoders merge proven design elements with cutting-edge innovation. Key components include:

  • An extremely resilient housing
  • Optimally spaced fixed/floating bearings on both sides
  • Generously sized hybrid ball bearings

This combination ensures unrivalled service life and reliability, even in hostile conditions.

Robust Sensing Technology for Any Environment

The sensors utilize robust magnetic precision technology that delivers signal quality nearly identical to optical sensing principles. This system withstands dust, dirt, condensation, high temperatures up to +100°C, and harsh environments—all while maintaining shock and vibration resistance for precise control signals.

The Game-Changing MicroGen Technology

At the heart of these encoders is Baumer’s patented MicroGen energy harvesting technology. This system generates power from encoder shaft rotation without batteries or gears, making it completely wear-free and immune to dust and magnetic interference. Its proven reliability over more than ten years in HeavyDuty conditions speaks to its robustness.

Complete Solution for Control Systems

Beyond absolute position feedback, the encoders optionally provide:

  • Two galvanically isolated incremental outputs with zero pulse
  • An integrated speed switch with galvanically insulated switching states

This makes a single encoder sufficient to supply signals for control systems, converters, and other loops.

Setting New Standards in HeavyDuty Encoders

Through consistent component optimization and harmonization, the HMG 10 and PMG 10 series represent an absolute benchmark. They combine enhanced robustness with high efficiency and signal quality previously achievable only through optical sensing technologies.
