TSM60P-SSI

TSM60P-SSI FAQ

1. What is the TSM60P-SSI?
   The TSM60P-SSI is an optical, multiturn, absolute encoder featuring a solid shaft. It’s designed for industrial applications needing highly accurate rotary position feedback. The device includes a user-programmable resolution and code format, making it versatile for various motion-control and automation systems.

2. Which shaft sizes are available, and how large is the encoder body?

   • Body Diameter: 58 mm (overall length less than 65 mm)
   • Shaft Diameter: 6 mm or 10 mm
     These sizes allow for broad compatibility with different installation requirements.

3. What is the multiturn resolution and code format?

   • Maximum Steps per Turn: 8,192 (13 bits)
   • Maximum Number of Turns: 4,096 (12 bits)
   • Available Codes: Gray or Binary (user programmable)
     This provides up to 25 bits of total resolution (13 bits singleturn + 12 bits multiturn).

4. What is the output interface?

   • Interface: Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI), with bit numbers user-programmable
   • Clock Frequency: 80 kHz to 1 MHz
   • Typical Monoflop Time: 20 µs (configurable from 16 µs to 25 µs)
     SSI offers robust, noise-resistant communication for reliable data transfer over longer distances.

5. Is the encoder programmable?
   Yes, the TSM60P-SSI is programmable via RS485 (using a proprietary adapter). Users can set:

   • Resolution: Up to 8,192 steps per turn and 4,096 turns
   • Code Format: Gray or Binary
   • SSI Bit Number: Configurable for specific controller requirements

6. What mechanical performance can be expected?

   • Shaft Material: Stainless steel
   • Shaft Loading: 20 N axial / 10 N radial
   • Moment of Inertia: ~2.5 × 10?? kg·m²
   • Maximum Shaft Speed: 12,000 RPM continuous
   • Bearing Life: Minimum of 3.9 × 10¹? revolutions under typical conditions
     The sturdy construction enables operation under demanding industrial environments.

7. What are the key electrical characteristics?

   • STD Code: Gray/Binary (programmable)
   • Polarity Protection: Guards against wiring errors
   • Power Dissipation: < 3 W
     This low power consumption helps maintain stable operation and reduce heat generation.

8. What materials are used in construction?

   • Flange: Non-corroding aluminum
   • Housing: Anodized aluminum
     These materials strike a balance between durability and weight savings.

9. What environmental conditions can it withstand?

   • Operating Temperature: –20°C to +70°C
   • Storage Temperature: –30°C to +80°C
   • Humidity: Up to 98% RH (non-condensing)
   • Vibration & Shock: Conforms to DIN EN 60068-2-6 (vibration) and DIN EN 60068-2-27 (shock)
   • Warm-Up Time: 1 second

10. Where can I find more detailed information or support?
    Refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet, drawings, and user manuals for comprehensive installation and programming instructions. For further assistance or to request proprietary programming adapters, contact the manufacturer’s technical support or your local distributor.
