XPH1

Explosion Proof Bearingless Encoder

Dramatically reduce encoder-related downtime on top drive applications with the XPH1 SMARTSafe™ encoder. As the world’s first explosion-proof encoder with removable electronics and no external barrier, the XPH1 offers unparalleled reliability and durability. Certified for cULus, ATEX, and IECEx, this encoder is designed for use in hazardous environments, including NEC500 and NEC 505 gas hazardous areas.

The XPH1 comes complete with an auto-centering jig, base plate, riser shaft, sensor, and rotor, fitting NOV TDS9, TDS10, and TDS11. Use the XPH1 directly in your application without the need for barriers or isolators, even with cable lengths of 1000 feet or more. Our SMARTSafe encoder systems are protected against short circuits, power-to-output wiring, and output-to-ground faults. Full diagnostics make it easy to determine signal quality with a green LED indicator, while an orange LED alerts you to any short circuit conditions, which the XPH1 can survive.

Say goodbye to encoder bearing failures and sealing problems. The XPH1 can be mounted directly on your motor or built into your machine, providing a more reliable no-bearing encoder solution. Vibration, shock, liquids, dust, and dirt won’t harm the SMARTSafe XPH1 encoders, making them ideal for applications such as mud pumps, paint booths, and hazardous duty IEC motors.

Eliminate the biggest cause of hazardous duty encoder failure by choosing the XPH1 SMARTSafe encoder for your applications.
