SKF Motor Encoder Units

Product Description

Motor Encoder Units 

Monitoring the status of rotating components accurately is essential for many applications. This is particularly true for AC motors that require encoders to measure the speed and the direction of rotation continuously.

Features and Benefits :

SKF motor encoder units combine active sensor technology with an SKF Explorer deep groove ball bearing and are:

* Able to provide a signal resolution ranging from 32 to 80 digital pulses per revolution

* Compact, only 6,2 mm wider than the corresponding standard deep groove ball bearing

* Ready-to-mount and can be mounted at either bearing position in an AC motor

* Available for shaft diameters ranging from 15 to 45 mm.

Encoders for modern AC motors Being able to accurately monitor the status of rotating components is critical in many applications. Modern AC motors require encoders to continuously monitor speed, position and direction of rotation. These encoders, which are typically external to the motor, are exposed to environmental conditions, which in some cases can have a significant impact on service life. Integrated units from SKF motor encoders, however, are mechatronic units that combine sensor and bearing technology. Available for shaft diameters ranging from 15 to 45 mm, these encoder units are mounted directly inside the motor and require only 6 mm of extra space in the axial direction. The sensor body, impulse ring and bearing are mechanically attached to each other, forming a compact, integrated, ready-to-mount unit that is shielded from external influences. SKF motor encoder units, which can be installed on the drive or driven side of asynchronous motors, provide a medium resolution signal between 32 and 80 digital pulses per revolution. They can accurately detect speeds from zero to 20 000 r/min.

Following is a brief overview of the sensor integrated solutions engineered by SKF. These solutions have been well proven in a variety of industrial and automotive applications such as electric motors, electric vehicles, road rollers, tractors, forklifts and conveyors.

Typical uses include:

* Motor management

* Steering

* Speed and Position sensing

* Temperature and Vibration sensing

* Measurement of angular position
