BEI introduces HS35 encoder for oil field applications
February 21, 2008 - BEI Industrial Encoders introduces the dual output drawworks HS35 encoder for oil field applications. This specifically designed encoder combines rugged, heavy-duty features into a unique through-shaft style for use as a winch-turns counter in the drawworks system of oil rigs. The dual output drawworks encoder can supply simultaneous position feedback to two separate systems from a single encoder. The hard-anodized metal housing, sealed connector, IS rating, dual bearings and shaft seals for NEMA 4 and 13 (IP65) ratings all add up to a very rugged encoder built to live in this harsh oil field environment.

The dual output drawworks HS35 encoder can supply simultaneous position feedback to two separate systems from a single encoder. Since the connectors are mechanically parallel and electrically isolated, connecting to a second system and routing the cable is straightforward. Additionally, the outputs can even have different resolutions with use of interpolation. Now you can save the cost and space of a second encoder with a single installation.

BEI Industrial Encoders (IED) is an operation of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST). IED manufactures optical encoders and associated electronics for the industrial market. IED is the market-leading brand of encoders in North America. www.beiied.com
