MODEL
HS6M
HOLLOW SHAFT 6-15mm
DESCRIPTION
The Avtron Model HS6M is a light mill duty absolute encoder. It
expresses the position of rotation as an output message or value.
HS6M can measure a single turn of rotation or multiple rotations.
The HS6M measures the shaft rotation and position without the need
for external power or internal batteries or capacitors through its
innovative Wiegand wire energy system. The HS6M operates down
to zero speed and can be used for both control and instrumentation
applications.
CAUTION
Do not utilize HS6M in hazardous locations which
require ATEX, UL, CUL, CSA, or other explosion protection
certification. AV6M is not certified for hazardous
locations.
When mounted to a machine shaft, the HS6M design eliminates the
need for shaft couplings, adapter flanges, or accessory mounting
faces. The clamping collar holds the HS6M in place.
For larger bore/ larger frame size units, shaft inserts are available
to resize from native bores to smaller sizes. An anti-rotation arm
prevents housing rotation while allowing for shaft end float.
The HS6M utilizes magnetic sensors. This proven technology is ideal
for rugged environments since it is immune to many contaminants
that cause optical encoders to fail.
SAFETY
The HS6M is not considered as a safety device and is not suitable for
connection into a safety system.
CAUTION
Be careful not to damage clamping fingers of hollow
shaft during handling. Do not tighten clamping collar
before installation onto motor shaft.
WARNING
Installation should be performed only by qualified
personnel. Safety precautions must be taken to ensure
machinery cannot rotate and all sources of power are
removed during installation.
INSTALLATION
Refer to the back page of these instructions for outline and mounting
dimensions.
