TKW615REO Heavy Duty Encoder with Integrated Tachogenerator – FAQ

1. What is the TKW615REO?
   The TKW615REO is a heavy-duty optical encoder with an integrated tachogenerator, designed for industrial applications where robust performance and precise speed feedback are required. It is available in several models (e.g., TKW6151REO444, TKW6152REO444, TKW6161REO444, TKW6162REO444).

2. What are its key mechanical features?

   • Body Diameter: 115 mm
   • Shaft Diameter: 11 mm
   • Shaft Loading: Axial 200 N and Radial 200 N
   • Shaft Rotation Speed:
     • Up to 10,000 RPM continuous (in some configurations)
     • Up to 6,000 RPM continuous in others
   • Bearings Life: Minimum of 5 × 10? revolutions
   • Weight: Approximately 0.3 kg
     These specifications ensure the encoder can withstand harsh industrial environments and high-speed operations.

3. What resolution and output voltage does it offer?

   • Resolution: Up to 3600 pulses per revolution (PPR) as standard, with options available on demand up to 5000 PPR
   • Output Voltage: 60 V per 1000 RPM
     This resolution and voltage output provide precise position and speed measurements for various control applications.

4. Which interfaces are supported?
   The encoder supports multiple output interfaces, including:

   • LD, LD2, PP2
   • NPN, PNP, S
   • OC, P, OP
     Additionally, it offers a synchronous index output (default on channel A with an option for A+B on demand).

5. What are the electrical specifications?

   • Output Frequency: Up to 100 kHz
   • Supply Current (No Load): Maximum of 150 mA
   • Protection: It includes short-circuit protection (applied to LD2 and PP2 outputs) and protection against polarity inversion (except for 5 V DC supplies)
     These features help ensure stable and reliable electrical performance.

6. What are the environmental specifications?

   • Operating Temperature Range: –10°C to +70°C
   • Storage Temperature Range: –30°C to +80°C
   • Relative Humidity: Up to 98% RH (non-condensing)
   • Vibration Resistance: 10 g (from 10 Hz up to 2,000 Hz)
   • Shock Resistance: 20 g for 11 ms
     These ratings make the TKW615REO suitable for a wide range of industrial environments, including those with temperature extremes, high humidity, and mechanical shocks.

7. What applications are ideal for the TKW615REO?
   This encoder is well-suited for applications that require both precise position feedback and speed monitoring, such as:

   • Industrial automation and robotics
   • Motor control systems
   • Material handling and process control
   • Other heavy-duty industrial equipment
