Description
Non-contact absolute linear encoder. Measuring range: 0...354 m. Resolution: 0.1 mm. Repeatability: 0.3 mm. Accuracy: ±1000 + ME*(Tu-25)*28 μm. Traversing speed: max 6.6 m/s. Interface: PROFIBUS DP (requires external Profibus Link Adaptor). Supply voltage: 10...32 V DC. Connection: interface for Profibus Link Adaptor. Protection: not specified. Operating temperature: -20...+60 °C. Linear encoder material: AlMgSiPbF28. Initialization time: 2 s.
Possible Applications
The KH53 linear encoder is engineered for long-travel positioning tasks where traditional rack-and-pinion or cable-pull systems would suffer from mechanical wear or slippage. It is primarily deployed in heavy-duty logistics and material handling, such as automated storage and retrieval systems, stacker cranes, and overhead monorail conveyors that require absolute position feedback over hundreds of meters. Because the sensor operates without physical contact, it is ideal for harsh industrial environments where dust, vibration, or debris would compromise the reliability of optical or friction-based encoders. This makes it a preferred solution for gantry cranes in port facilities and automated guided vehicles operating in expansive warehouse infrastructures where high-speed, maintenance-free absolute positioning is critical for operational uptime.
