With the HOG 86+FSL version, the HOG 86 family of incremental heavy duty encoders by Baumer offers a new version with a mechanical centrifugal switch. This benefits safety-oriented applications that require highly reliable, energy-self-sufficient overspeed acquisition.

The new HOG 86+FSL offers speed acquisition through two principles. While interference-free optical sensing ensures the constant high quality of incremental output signals even under adverse environmental conditions, the energy-self-sufficient centrifugal switch acquires the overspeed purely mechanically and transmits these by means of a switching output. The freely definable switching speed is factory-preset.

After the highest available resolution was increased from 2500 to 5000 pulses per revolution across all models of the range, the new HOG 86+FSL version extends the range of applications of the comprehensive product family. The high-performance output drivers reliably guarantee the provision of high-quality signals over line lengths of up to 550 m (TTL) and 350 m (HTL-P). Baumer also offers a box of accessories for interference-free optical signal transmission up to 1500 m via optical fiber.

The core of the HOG 86 incremental heavy duty encoder family is its uncompromising design for a long service life, among other things through double-sided bearings, robust design and thelong-term stability of the sealing concept.
