Product Specifications

AV485 SMARTach III severe duty magnetic encoders can be foot or NEMA 56C face/flange mounted. They feature our largest bearings on an ultra-wide stance for pulley and other rough applications.  Also available:  AV685 for hollow shaft mounting, and AV850 encoders for complete flowerpot/flange/coupling elimination.

The AV485 is designed to withstand the worst environments: buried in slag, coated in pulp, sprayed with salt water or cutting coolants, it keeps working. The modular, gull-winged design makes it easy to install and service; the base can be bolted in place without removing the encoder, and the AV5 wide-gap removable sensors require no adjustment or shimming.

The sensors are fully potted to protect against liquids, and are interchangeable between AV850, AV485, and AV685 encoders. The universal 5-24V design drives longer cables and is protected against wiring errors and surges. A second backup output is available with the same or different PPR, and offers completely separate electronics for maximum uptime.

Adaptive Electronics: At power-up you know you installed it right! The green LED tells you your AV5 Sensor is aligned with the rotor and reading signal.  If at any time, the AV5 cannot produce consistent signals, the LED changes to red and the optional remote alarm contact activates. However, the encoder keeps working to give you time to schedule service.  Even wiring errors and short circuits that cause an over-temp situation will be detected and indicated by changing the LED to orange.

For easy upgrades, the AV485 matches the bolt pattern and shaft location of older analog and digital models.

Keep your mill running today, and for years to come: install AV485!
