NEW: Bearingless magnetic rotary Ex encoders now with ATEX certification

10.12.2021

Extreme temperatures, dust, dirt and vibrations: Encoders for heavy industries have to withstand a lot. The new MAG Ex bearingless magnetic encoder systems from our partner Johannes Hübner GmbH based in Giessen, Germany are now even more versatile. This is because they are ATEX certified and can therefore also be used in applications with explosion hazards.

Extremely resilient and explosion-proof

For a long time, the bearingless MAGincremental magnetic encoders from Johannes Hübner in Giessen have been proving their qualities for applications in extreme environmental conditions. Thanks to their compact design, they show their strengths particularly when used in confined spaces. A new feature of the MAG Ex Incremental model is its ATEX certification. This extends the range of applications for these extremely robust, non-contact rotary encoder systems. MAG Ex is ATEX certified for harsh environments with explosion hazards. New areas of application for the encoders include oil and gas production, offshore platforms, pipeline compressor stations and petrochemical plants.

Durable and flexible in use

Both versions of the Ex-certified magnetic encoder systems are extremely resilient and durable. Thanks to the bearingless design and contactless scanning, they operate without wear. A special stainless steel band gives extra protection to the encoders from environmental influences. The scanning head is seawater-proof (IP68) and therefore also suitable for offshore applications. MAG Ex Incremental and MAGA Ex Absolute also offer maximum design freedom. They can be mounted directly on shafts with or without a free shaft end. The option with split pole wheel is a practical alternative for retrofits and modernisations.
