The Acuro AD37 is mainly used in highly dynamic, safety-critical applications. The encoder is optimally equipped for the strict requirements in this area: Firstly, it operates extremely precisely and dynamically, even at speeds of up to 12,000 rpm. With an absolute accuracy of ±36 angular seconds and a repeat accuracy of less than ±10 angular seconds, it also ensures maximum control performance. In addition, the AD37 is certified to SIL 3 (PLe, category 3) and offers a resolution of 20 bits in singleturn and 12 bits in multiturn operation. These features and its dual-channel redundant design predestine the encoder for applications with high safety and accuracy requirements.

The Acuro AD37 is not only extremely precise, but with an installation depth of just 29 mm, it is also the most compact multiturn motor feedback encoder in its class. This means that the encoder fits perfectly into the tight installation spaces of servo motors. In addition to its precision and very compact design, the AD37 is also characterized by its high robustness. In continuous operation, the encoder not only reliably withstands temperatures of up to 120 °C, but also vibrations of up to 300 m/s2 (10...2,000 Hz).

Another striking feature of the absolute encoder is its excellent signal quality: it enables much "smoother" control of drives than with comparable encoders and therefore also very energy-efficient operation. The high signal quality also ensures the loss-free transmission of position and temperature data at 10 MBaud over a distance of up to 100 m.
With the new version of the Acuro AD37 with 1:3 cone, Hengstler has further extended the range of applications for its proven multiturn absolute encoder. Manufacturers of standard servomotors no longer have to make complex modifications to their drives in order to use the encoder. It can now simply be plugged onto the motor shaft via the cone.
