AV850

SMARTach™ III Magnetic, Modular Encoder, 8.5`` C-Face Mount

The AV850 SMARTach III heavy mill duty modular magnetic encoders are designed to fit standard 8.5″ FC-Face motors. We also offer models ranging from 115mm to 12.5″ to accommodate various motor sizes. For hazardous duty applications, consider our XR850 and XPH8 intrinsically safe models, or the SV850 functional safety encoders.

The AV850 is engineered to eliminate encoder failures. With fully encapsulated electronics and no moving parts, it ensures durability and longevity. Our sensors are positioned over 4 times farther from the rotor compared to competitors, preventing sensor/rotor grinding.

Miswiring an encoder is a common issue, but it shouldn’t cost you time or money. The AV850 features full output short circuit and reverse voltage protection, along with surge protection. Our SMARTach III sensors digitally self-tune the outputs, eliminating drive trips caused by poor encoder signals. The universal 5-24V design supports longer cables and is safeguarded against wiring errors.

At power-up, a green LED confirms proper installation and signal reading. If the AV5 sensor encounters inconsistent signals, the LED turns red and activates an optional remote alarm contact, while the encoder continues to operate, allowing you to schedule maintenance. Wiring errors and short circuits causing over-temperature conditions are indicated by an orange LED.

If you’re considering replacing your drives to solve encoder failures, try the AV850 instead. Experience superior performance and reliability with our advanced magnetic encoder technology.
