Our new product line, the H3 Angular Encoders, featuring state-of-the-art encoders that set a new standard in the industry, will be officially launched in September at AMB fair. Connected, robust, and precise, the new H3 angular encoders are designed to meet the highest demands of the market with Fagor Automation’s own innovative technology and exceptional specifications.
The Series3 Angular Encoders underscores Fagor Automation’s dedication to research and development, strengthening its role as a leading global provider of both linear and angular encoders. Renowned for producing high-performance closed angular encoders, Fagor Automation encoders help obtain components of outstanding aesthetic and dimensional quality.
This new product line includes models such as the H3-D90, H3-D110, H3D200i100, and S3-D90, with external diameters ranging from 90 mm to 200 mm and internal diameters up to 100 mm. A standout in the lineup is the H3-D90, recognized as the only model on the market with a resonance frequency exceeding 1500Hz. The H3-D110 is noteworthy for its 110mm external diameter and 35mm internal diameter, expanding the size range previously offered, adding more flexibility and design options for machinery and equipment.
Within the series, the H3B-D90 is also available with Functional Safety certification for applications up to SIL 2 (ISO 13849-1:2015) or PL “d” (IEC 61508:2010), making it an ideal choice for safety-critical environments.
A key feature of the H3 Angular Encoders is its reduced mass, achieved through the use of advanced materials, and an enhanced liquid evacuation system, particularly beneficial for hollow shafts. The encoders also feature a new design with engravings and wide mounting tolerances, simplifying installation across all models. The hollow shaft variants include options for mounting with mechanical failure exclusion, significantly enhancing reliability in demanding applications.
Emphasizing smooth, repeatable, and precise machine control, the H3 Andelivers exceptional performance with arcsecond-level accuracy, resolutions up to 29 bits, and integrated electronics. These features make the encoders ideal for applications that require the highest levels of precision and consistency.
The H3 Angular Encoders employs 3STATECH, Fagor Automation’s own technology, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging working conditions. This advanced optical system detects discrepancies, discards invalid data, and accurately calculates the correct position using a new opto-electronic reading assembly and sophisticated software.
Further enhancing durability, the hollow shaft encoders are also fitted with improved O-ring seals, which boost robustness and reduce maintenance costs throughout their lifespan by minimizing liquid ingress.
With the launch of the H3 Angular Encoders, Fagor Automation continues to drive innovation and deliver high-quality solutions to the market adapted to our clients’ needs.
