The latest addition to the OptoPulse® EIL580 encoder series from Baumer introduces a new variant with improved resistance to inductive shaft currents. This innovation ensures greater reliability in applications where such currents may pose a risk, thanks to its hybrid bearing design. Unlike traditional all-steel bearings that can conduct current, these hybrid bearings act as insulation. Additionally, the integrated ceramic bearings minimize micro-welding effects on bearing slide ways for smoother operation.

The OptoPulse® EIL580 encoders are built with a robust design and exceptional durability in mind. Baumer’s patented ShaftLock bearing system guarantees reliable performance even under challenging conditions. A protective metal shoulder between two ball bearings shields the internal sensor technology from axial impacts, while high-quality materials combined with precision-machined mechanical components ensure optimal radial and axial movement throughout the product’s lifespan.

The modular nature of this encoder series allows for a wide range of compatible versions that adhere to current electrical and mechanical standards. The streamlined design not only enhances installation ease but also ensures seamless integration into various applications, thanks to its clean aesthetic and functional layout.
