Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Motor shaft static grounding is a major problem for many customers--shaft
currents caused by variable frequency drives can destroy motor bearings,
and the bearings in hollow shaft encoders. Mounting an encoder on
a motor can make it difficult to mount a shaft grounding brush,
and conventional bronze or carbon brushes are a constant maintenance
problem.
Avtron is pleased to introduce encoder shaft grounding kits for
Thin-Line modular magnetic encoders. These encoder grounding kits
feature the new SGR technology from Electro Static Technology. This
conductive MicroFiber™ brush system is maintenance free, and effective
at any RPM. A major motor manufacturer has performed testing and
found it met the manufacturer's claim to hold shaft voltages to
below 7 volts, even after extensive life cycle usage.
 The
M56, M67, and M85 THIN-LINE Modular Magnetic Encoders are Heavy-Mill
Duty, and feature Avtron's Wide-Gap Technology to avoid rotor and
sensor damage common to older style encoders.
This kit may be ordered separately for field installation/retrofits,
or as an option to factory-built M56, M67, and M85 THIN-LINE encoders.
