March 8, 2007 - BEI Industrial Encoders announced the addition of metric incremental encoders to their product line. Model M58 is a 58 mm diameter industrial grade metric incremental encoder. Its unique combination of high performance and flexibility is achieved by providing a wide range of functional options in a rugged industrial package. BEI metric encoders are readily available with standard configurations in stock for quick delivery. Equipment retrofitters needing metric encoders can now fulfill their requirements with quality built products from BEI.
The M58 is an ideal replacement encoder for metric equipment used in many industries, including machine control, printing, and factory automation applications. The M58 is available with either a standard 10mm shaft or 6mm shaft. The M58 provides a wide range of resolutions, up to 80,000 cycles per turn. Built to industrial standards, the M58 provides excellent resistance to shock and vibration. IP65 environmental protection level is standard or IP67 is available with sealing flange.
This allows the M58 to work exceptionally well in dirty or wet environments commonly found in industrial applications.
