AI2500132B02K by Danaher

The Danaher AI2500132B02K encoder from the Dynapar Encoders series is an industrial-grade absolute optical encoder engineered for precise position feedback in automation systems. It delivers a single-turn resolution ranging from 10 to 14 Bit and supports a binary output code protocol for direct digital interfacing. Operable on an input voltage of 10–30 VDC, this robust encoder integrates a 19-pin bayonet radial connector and meets UL, cUL, and CE certification standards. The compact design and advanced optical sensing provide reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and repeatability, the AI2500132B02K ensures consistent data transmission under varying operational conditions.

Detailed specifications of the AI2500132B02K underscore its technical versatility. It features an Absolute Accuracy of ±0.01° mechanical (36 arc-sec) and Repeatability of ±0.002° mechanical (7.2 arc-sec) to maintain stringent positional fidelity. Communication is handled via an Electrical Interface: Profibus-DP, Encoder Profile at a Baud Rate of 9.6 KBaud to 12 MBaud. The encoder offers Enclosure Rating: IP64 or IP67 protection, supporting continuous shaft speeds up to 10,000 RPM and peak speeds to 12,000 RPM. Intrinsic current draw is rated at 220 mA (Single-Turn) and 250 mA (Multi-Turn), with a Starting Torque of <1.4 in-oz. Shock resistance is rated at 1,000 m/s² for 6 ms, and it accommodates shaft loads of 9 lb axial and 13 lb radial (10 mm) or 13 lb axial and 24 lb radial (6 mm). Additional specification highlights include Resolution (Multi-Turn): 12 Bit, Operating Temperature: –40 °C to +85 °C, and Storage Temperature: –40 °C to +100 °C.

Operational features of the AI2500132B02K emphasize durability and consistent performance in harsh environments. The IP67 protection rating ensures full dust and water ingress resistance for extended service life. The encoder’s optical sensing mechanism and shaft seal design provide stable operation across an ambient temperature range of –40 °C to +85 °C, with storage capabilities to +100 °C. Vibration and shock resilience (1,000 m/s² for 6 ms) reduce maintenance needs in high-dynamic machinery. With precision torque requirements and rapid shaft response, this encoder supports continuous high-speed rotation without drift or data loss.

System integration of the AI2500132B02K is streamlined through its parallel binary protocol and bayonet radial connector, facilitating swift installation in control cabinets and machinery drives. Its compliance with industry standards and multi-turn resolution capability make it suited for CNC controls, robotic joints, packaging lines, and material handling systems. The encoder’s mechanical interface options—shaft diameter options: 6 mm, 10 mm, 3/8" square flange—allow flexible mounting configurations. Target applications include industrial automation networks where accurate, low-latency position feedback is critical for process optimization and machine safety.
