BEI Sensors IO-Link Encoders and Position Sensors

Sensata BEI Sensors IO-Link Encoders and Position Sensors are digital, point-to-point, industrial communication networking standards used for connecting digital sensors and actuators to either an industrial fieldbus or an industrial Ethernet and it is the starting point for implementing Industry 4.0 architectures.

Sensata BEI Sensors IO-Link portfolio of encoders and position sensors is based on sensing technology that provides the accuracy and the robustness required in typical IO-Link applications like factory automation, machine tools, production lines, intralogistics, and packaging machines.

Sensata BEI Sensors offers both Industrial housed and modular packages, both available in Absolute Single-Turn or Multi-Turn options; the Incremental series includes a unique dual output option with incremental channel and absolute value through IO-Link. Radial or Axial output orientation, M12 connector or cable output, solid shaft, blind shaft, or through the shaft, different shaft sizes, and a complete range of mounting accessories provide the solution available for any application requirement.

Features

  • Connection: 
    • M12, M23 connectors or cable, Radial or Axial output, providing universal connectivity
  • Dual Output: 
    • Both incremental channel and absolute value through the IO-Link
  • Fastest interface: 
    • Support with COM3, the fastest IO-Link interface, with a minimum cycle time of 1ms
  • Functionality: 
    • Diagnostic and events, automatic setup for easy replacement
  • High resolution: 
    • Up to 16 bits on absolute and 10000ppr on incremental for applications requiring high performance
  • Programmability: 
    • Resolution and output types are fully configurable
  • Shaft size: 
    • Maximum mounting flexibility, 6, 8, 9, 10mm (solid shaft) 10,12,14,15mm (blind/hollow shaft)
