TKMW60P Optical Absolute Multiturn Encoder (Hollow Shaft) – FAQ

  1. What is the TKMW60P Encoder?
    The TKMW60P is an optical absolute multiturn encoder with a hollow shaft, featuring a 60 mm body diameter. It is designed to deliver precise position feedback across multiple full rotations, suitable for various industrial motion control applications.

  2. Which hollow shaft diameters are available?
    The encoder supports hollow shaft diameters of 6, 8, 9.52, 10, and 11 mm, offering versatility for different shaft sizes in machinery setups.

  3. What is the maximum resolution?

    • Singleturn Resolution: Up to 8,192 steps (13 bits)
    • Multiturn Resolution: Up to 4,096 turns (12 bits)
      This means the total resolution can be up to 25 bits (13 bits for singleturn + 12 bits for multiturn), ensuring high accuracy for position tracking.
  4. Which output codes and interfaces does it support?

    • Available Codes: G (Gray), B (Binary), D (BCD)
    • Parallel Interfaces: OC (Open Collector), OP (Open Push-Pull), NPN, PNP
    • Serial Interface: SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface)
    • Programmable Interface: RS232, RS485
      Some specifications also reference PROFIBUS, suggesting an optional model variant may support it.
  5. What are the key mechanical specifications?

    • Body Diameter: 60 mm
    • Shaft Material: Stainless steel
    • Shaft Loading: Axial 100 N; Radial 100 N
    • Maximum Speed: 6,000 RPM continuous
    • Bearings Life: Minimum of 5 × 10? revolutions
    • Weight: Approximately 0.65 kg
  6. What are the main electrical features?

    • Standard Code: Programmable Gray, Binary, BCD, and possibly PROFIBUS options
    • Output Frequency: 0 to 20 kHz (L.S.B. without error)
    • Protection: Against polarity inversion (except 5 V DC)
      These specs allow the encoder to reliably transmit position data in various industrial environments.
  7. Which materials are used in the construction?

    • Flange: Non-corroding aluminum
    • Housing: Aluminum painted with an inhibiting treatment (up to 180°C)
    • Hollow Shaft: Stainless steel
      The combination of aluminum and stainless steel helps ensure durability and resistance to harsh industrial conditions.
  8. What are the environmental specifications?

    • Operating Temperature: –10°C to +70°C
    • Storage Temperature: –30°C to +80°C
    • Relative Humidity: Up to 98% RH (non-condensing)
    • Vibration Resistance: 10 g (10 to 2,000 Hz)
    • Shock Resistance: 20 g for 11 ms
    • Warm-up Time: 10 seconds
      These ratings ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial settings.
  9. Where can I use the TKMW60P encoder?
    The TKMW60P is suitable for various motion control applications that require precise multiturn position feedback, including automation, packaging, machine tools, and robotics. Its hollow shaft design simplifies mounting onto shafts or motors without needing additional couplings.

  10. Where can I find more information or support?

  • Datasheets & Manuals: Refer to the manufacturer’s official documentation for detailed specs, dimensional drawings, and setup instructions.
  • Technical Support: Contact the manufacturer or authorized distributors for product availability, replacement parts, or integration assistance.
