The TS5100 series from Tamagawa Seiki of Japan is a high-protection absolute encoder designed for harsh industrial environments. It has excellent performance in dustproof, waterproof, corrosion-resistant and vibration-resistant, and is suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, outdoor equipment and engineering machinery.
1. Product Overview
Type: Absolute rotary encoder (single-turn/multi-turn optional)
Protection level: IP66/IP67 (dustproof and waterproof)
Environmental tolerance:
Operating temperature -20°C ~ +85°C (optional low temperature extension to -30°C)
Corrosion resistance (stainless steel housing + anti-rust coating)
Vibration resistance 10G, shock resistance 30G
Resolution: single-turn 12~18 bits, multi-turn 12~16 bits
Output interface: incremental (A/B/Z), SSI, RS-422
2. Core features
(1) Industrial-grade protection design
Fully sealed structure: prevent dust, water mist, and oil from entering (suitable for flushing environment in food/pharmaceutical industry).
Chemical corrosion resistance: special surface treatment, resistant to weak acids, weak alkalis and detergents.
(2) High reliability signal transmission
Anti-interference circuit: Stable operation near inverters and motors (EMC complies with EN 61000-6-2/4).
Long-life bearings: Metal shielded bearings to avoid lubrication contamination (lifetime > 30,000 hours).
(3) Flexible installation options
Solid shaft (Φ6/10mm) and hollow shaft (Φ12mm) versions are available.
Flange installation (optional round or square flange), compatible with servo motors/reducers.
3. Typical applications
Food packaging machinery: Motion control of filling and labeling machines (requires waterproof flushing).
Pharmaceutical equipment: Closed-loop control of mixing tanks and filling machines (GMP environment compatible).
Engineering machinery: Excavator arm angle detection (anti-vibration requirements).
Outdoor equipment: Solar tracking brackets, port cranes (weather resistance requirements).
