Pepperl+Fuchs T-Line Incremental Encoders Available in Standard Inch Shaft and Coupling Sizes


Pepperl+Fuchs T-Line 40 mm Series Incremental Rotary Encoders are now available in standard inch shaft and coupling sizes. These compact, 40 mm diameter (1.57 in.) encoders come standard with an integral 2 meter cable, and provide output resolution up to 1024 ppr in an IP54-rated housing. They require a 4.75 – 30VDC supply voltage. As a result, they are an ideal feedback solution for most light-to-medium duty applications in the material handling, packaging and printing industries, among others.

TVI40 solid shaft encoders are available with 1/8 in. and ¼ in. shaft sizes. THI40 hollow shaft encoders are available with 3/16 in., ¼ in. and 5/16 in. shaft coupling sizes. TSI40 recessed hollow shaft encoders are available with shaft bore sizes of 3/16 in., ¼ in., 5/16 in. and 3/8 in. shaft couplings. T-Line 40 mm series incremental rotary encoders are also available to accommodate 4, 6 or 8 mm shaft applications.

Pepperl+Fuchs is a world leader in the design, manufacture and application of high quality factory and process automation products and services. Pepperl+Fuchs pioneered the development of proximity sensors 50 years ago, and has set the standard for innovation and quality ever since.

Turck Q10S Uprox+ Advanced Factor 1 Sensors


TURCK’s uprox®+ line of advanced factor 1 sensors has been expanded to include a Q10S sensor: a very compact 10 by 10 by 28 millimeter sensor that can achieve sensing distances of up to 5 millimeters, depending on how the sensor is mounted. The Q10S sensors have an active side face and detect all metals at the same rated distance, making it applicable across all industries including material handling, automated assembly, conveying, sorting, product positioning and even industrial robotics.

These sensors provide an extended range and integrated pre-damping function that allows it to be mounted directly on metal, or flush mounted on four sides. Furthermore, with an intermediate metal plate, the sensors can even be mounted directly beside one another without causing interference. Internal electronics also make the sensors particularly resistant to EMC and rated for IP 68 degree of protection.
