Baumer EIL580 - Manual (Page 5)

Robust.
OptoPulse EIL580 encoders are outstanding when it comes to
durability and robustness: The resultant reliability eliminates
potential failures and expensive system downtime.
Well protected: Sheltered by a solid housing with massive metal
walls, the encoders will defy rough industrial conditions and
the reliable ShaftLock bearing feature will prevent any damage
caused by high axial shaft loads.
Extremely solid: For maximum stability, shaft and clamping ring
are not die-cast but made of solid material to ensure safe and
resilient mechanical attachment.
Simply safe: The encoders are short-circuit proof and protected
against reverse polarity. Neither will the electronics be harmed by
installation errors.
Plugged PCB connections improve shock and vibration properties
and increase operational safety.
Baumer ShaftLock
Baumer invented it: The ShaftLock bearing feature proven for more than 15 years will
not fail even under worst conditions. Large high-quality ball bearings in maximum
distance to each other prevent the bearing pack from misalignment by high axial shaft
loads in operation or at installation. ShaftLock means maximum precision, maximum
service life, will prevent code disc and sensing unit from damage and avoid cost-inten-
sive downtime and repair.
