The AV485 SMARTach II™ magnetic encoder is a severe-duty solution designed to withstand challenging environments such as those found in mills, factories, and other industrial settings.

Its rugged construction includes large bearings with an ultra-wide stance, making it suitable for tough applications like pulley systems. The modular, gull-winged design of the AV485 allows for quick installation and service, with the base easily bolted in place without needing to remove the encoder.

The AV5 wide-gap removable sensors do not require adjustments or shimming and are fully potted for liquid protection. The encoder also features interchangeable sensors, compatible across AV485, AV850, and AV685 models, ensuring flexibility across different systems.

The AV485 is built for long-term reliability, featuring an LED diagnostic system that goes beyond simple power indication. The LED provides real-time feedback on the encoder’s status, with self-tuning electronics ensuring proper duty cycle and phasing, preventing false trips.

Additionally, it offers an optional backup output, with the same or different PPR, to maximize uptime by providing separate electronics. The AV485’s design supports long cable lengths and offers full protection against wiring errors.

With its ability to replace older analog and digital models without rewiring, the AV485 makes upgrades seamless. This encoder is engineered for longevity and efficiency, providing continued service in even the harshest operational conditions.
