Easy integration for versatile applications

EBE sensor + motion is expanding its product range in the area of ​​encoders and is introducing two new members of the BGE25 family. These are characterized by particularly user-friendly integration, a pleasant magnetic detent and a wear-free HALL sensor rotary motion detection.

The HMI rotary encoder BGE25, which has been tried and tested for many years, is a robust and versatile encoder that is successfully used in various areas such as precision measuring devices, medical equipment, industrial control applications and construction machinery. The BGE25 is characterized by numerous advantages. These include the wear-free magnetic detent, which can even allow for overtravel due to its design, the stainless steel housing and the stainless steel axis as well as the wear-free HALL sensor scanning for both rotation and button, and even water resistance for applications on the high seas.

Flexible installations thanks to spring terminals

However, despite all its advantages, the connection using ribbon cables and special connectors was a common problem when integrating the BGE25 into small series of special machines or off-road vehicles. Due to the wide variety of requirements for connectors and cable lengths, it was not always possible to provide the right model for every application. EBE sensor+motion has now solved this by introducing a more user-friendly interface: the spring terminal.

The spring terminal enables quick and easy configuration of the BGE25 and follows the company's principle of robustness and durability. Equipped with the spring terminal block, the encoder supports conductor cross-sections from 0.2mm² to 0.5mm² (AWG24 to AWG20). This not only guarantees a high degree of flexibility in installation, but also compliance with strict industry standards, such as vibration tests according to IEC 60068-2-6:1995-03. The operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. In addition, installation is guaranteed at temperatures from -5°C to +55°C.

Series for different supply voltages

The BGE25 with spring clamps is initially available in two versions: one series for 24V DC and one for 5V DC supply voltage, each with 24 locking positions. The version with 24V supply voltage is particularly suitable for direct installation in control cabinets or for easy integration into existing control components. The signal output includes an A/B track signal for the rotary movement including rotation direction detection and a touch signal for the magnetic button. This combination of robustness, durability and easy handling makes the BGE25 with spring clamps an ideal solution for demanding applications in a wide variety of industrial sectors.
