HS6A

Superior Durability for Industrial Applications

The HS6A magnetic encoder, an absolute rotary hollow shaft encoder is designed for industrial applications requiring enhanced durability. They fit shafts from 0.3″ to 0.6″ [8-15mm] and outperform standard optical absolute encoders in demanding environments.

With mechanical barriers protecting the seals and bearings, the HS6A ensures long-lasting reliability, even under temperature fluctuations or exposure to liquids. The design includes unbreakable disks, unlike competitive optical encoders that can be damaged by vibration or shock.

This makes the HS6A the perfect choice for applications where rugged performance is essential, including environments with high vibration or contamination risks.

Available in several models, including the AV6A solid shaft flange-mounted model, HS6M magnetic absolute encoders, and HS40 severe-duty encoders (fitting shafts from 5/8″ to 1 1/8″ [16-30mm]), the HS6A offers flexibility for various shaft sizes. The encoder supports a range of communication options, including parallel output, SSI, Profibus, and Ethernet standards, making it adaptable to your system’s needs.

With superior sensor, disk, bearing, and seal technology, the HS6A ensures top performance in challenging industrial conditions, making it the ideal solution for your application.

  • Fits Shafts 0.3-0.6″ [8-15mm]
  • Up to 30 Bit Resolution
  • Unbreakable Optical Disk
  • Singleturn or Multiturn
  • IP66 Rating
  • Superior Bearings and Seals
  • No Batteries
  • -40°C to +85°C Operation
  • 2 Year No-Hassle Warranty
