Using the Model 30M Encoder for Versatile Industrial Applications

CS 30M for versatile industrial applications

 

Introduction

The Model 30M encoder stands out as a robust, versatile solution across a range of industries. Its advanced design, which includes non-contact magnetic sensing, IP69K-rated sealing, and a bearing-less configuration, positions it as a reliable choice for demanding environments where competitors’ encoders often fail. This case study explores key applications of the Model 30M across various sectors, showcasing its versatility, durability, and value.

Product Specifics

The Model 30M is a compact, incremental encoder module with advanced magnetic sensing and signal processing technology. Featuring resolutions from 1 to 1024 CPR, commutation channels, several output types, and two supply voltage options, it can be configured for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer feedback applications. With a non-contact magnetic sensor and optional sealing up to IP69K, the Model 30M can be applied in environments where dirt, dust, and liquids are present.

Applications Across Industries

1. APPLE PROCESSING
Challenge: An OEM manufacturing a bin-tipping system for apple sorting required a feedback encoder that could withstand water exposure and rigorous cleaning cycles.
Solution: The Model 30M was applied to the tilt axis, offering precise tilt position feedback with its optional IP69K-rated design. Its polymer housing and potted electronics ensured resistance to water and chemicals used in sanitation, making it ideal for food handling equipment.

2. HIGH-SPEED PUMP FEEDBACKScreen Shot 2025-02-24 at 2.49.46 PM
Challenge: A high-speed pump manufacturer needed a feedback device capable of operating at sustained speeds exceeding 10,000 RPM, while meeting a competitive price point for their consumer market.
Solution: The Model 30M’s non-contact sensing and bearing-less design supported high-speed operations without mechanical wear, ensuring reliability at high rotational speeds.

3. AUTOMATED CAR WASH EQUIPMENT
Challenge: Encoders in automated car wash systems faced failures due to exposure to pressurized water, cleaning chemicals, and environmental conditions.
Solution: The Model 30MT encoder, installed on a gear motor, delivered consistent performance with its IP69K-rated seal and robust magnetic sensing technology, making it impervious to water and chemical damage.

4. FOOD AND BEVERAGE CONVEYOR SYSTEMS
Challenge: A beverage manufacturer experienced repeated encoder failures due to washdown chemicals and pressurized sprays penetrating the shaft seals of competing encoders.
Solution: The Model 30MT was specified for a roller shaft, providing reliable speed feedback. Its superior sealing and durable construction eliminated failures and improved the reliability of a critical production process.
