Hengstler AX71/1214EK.42DPX-F0:5604 EX Absolute Encoder PROFIBUS 10-30V

The HENGSTLER AX71/1214EK.42DPX-F0:5604 is an explosion-proof (EX) absolute encoder made to measure position accurately in dangerous industrial settings. This model is part of the AX70/71 series, which is made for usage in areas where there is a risk of explosion, like gas and dust zones 1 and 2. It meets ATEX and IECEx safety regulations.

HENGSTLER AX71 Product Features:

• An absolute rotary encoder that can do both multi-turn and single-turn resolution, with 12-bit multi-turn and 14-bit single-turn resolution, giving you very accurate position feedback.
• The PROFIBUS DP communication protocol makes it possible for industrial automation to connect to fieldbus networks in a strong and real-time way.
• DC 10–30V is the operating voltage range, which works with a wide range of industrial power supply.
• The AX71 series has a stainless steel casing that is IP64/IP67 protected, making it strong and able to handle tough conditions.
• The shaft has a 10 mm diameter and a clamping flange for convenient installation.
• The operating temperature range is good for harsh situations, usually between -40°C and +60°C, depending on the temperature class.
• Based on the setup, the current use is about 220–250 mA.
• Built with safety certificates to defend against explosions in dangerous places.

The encoder sends out binary-coded position data and lets you change settings for system-level integration. It is often used for accurate position control in factory automation, elevator systems, oil and gas exploration, and other industrial fields that need reliable feedback in risky places.

You may customize your installation needs with accessories, including different cable options, mounting flanges, and connections. The encoder is built to last a long time, have a high resolution, and work perfectly with PROFIBUS data networks so that the rotating position can always be monitored accurately.
