Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
Mechanical Parameters
The TR CEV58M-00167 has a compact and lightweight design, with a typical mass of 0.3 to 0.5 kg (gross weight 0.4 kg). Its moment of inertia is typically 2.5E-6 kg m², and the start-up torque at 20 °C is 2 Ncm, ensuring smooth operation even at low speeds.
The encoder can withstand angular acceleration up to 10E+4 rad/s², making it suitable for high-speed motion applications. The shaft load point of origin is at the mounting flange + 10 mm, ensuring stable performance under varying load conditions. Its sturdy construction ensures durability in heavy-duty industrial environments.
Environmental Parameters
The TR CEV58M-00167 boasts a standard protection class of IP65, effectively preventing dust ingress and water splashing. This makes it suitable for use in dusty or damp industrial workshops and outdoor applications.
It operates in a standard temperature range of 0…+60 °C, with an optional range of -20…+70 °C for cold environments. The storage temperature (dry condition) ranges from -30…+80 °C, allowing safe storage when not in use. The encoder can withstand relative humidity up to 98% (non-condensing), preventing moisture damage to internal components.
It resists vibration up to 100 m/s² (sine 50–2000 Hz) and shock up to 1000 m/s² (half sine 11 ms). This resilience ensures stable performance even in high-vibration settings like steel mills or heavy machinery. It also complies with DIN EN 61000-6-2 (immunity to disturbance) and DIN EN 61000-6-3 (transient emissions) standards.
Installation Guide
Preparation Steps
Installing the TR CEV58M-00167 is simple with proper preparation. First, gather the necessary tools: a screwdriver, wrench, wire stripper, and cable cutter. Before installation, inspect the encoder for any damage during transportation.
Check that the model (TR CEV58M-00167) matches your application requirements, especially the shaft diameter and interface type. Prepare the mounting surface and ensure it is flat and stable to prevent vibration. Review the pin assignments for the X1 4-pin screw clamp connector to avoid wiring errors.
Prepare the power supply (11-27 VDC) and PROFIBUS communication cables. Ensure the cables are compatible with the encoder’s RS485 output level and PROFIBUS DP interface.
Mounting the Encoder
The TR CEV58M-00167 uses a ZB36 flange type for mounting. Use the appropriate screws to fix the encoder to the mounting surface. Ensure the installation is firm and free of looseness to avoid vibration, which can affect measurement accuracy.
Select the correct shaft diameter (6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, or 3/8 inch) to match your mechanical equipment. Align the encoder’s shaft with the mechanical shaft and ensure concentricity. Eccentricity can cause vibration and reduce measurement accuracy.
The encoder’s radial connector position allows flexible cable routing. Position the connector in a location that avoids cable damage and ensures easy access for wiring and maintenance.
Wiring and Parameterization
Connect the power supply and communication cables to the X1 4-pin screw clamp connector. Connect Pin 3 to the 11-27 VDC positive power supply and Pin 4 to 0V GND. Double-check the polarity to avoid damaging the encoder.
Connect Pin 1 to Profibus Data A and Pin 2 to Profibus Data B. Ensure the cables are securely clamped to prevent poor contact. Use the fieldbus-device programming tool to parameterize the encoder. Adjust resolution, counting direction, gear function, and velocity parameters to match your application needs.
After parameterization, power on the encoder and control system. Perform a test to verify accurate position and velocity feedback. Check that the PROFIBUS communication is stable and free of interference.
Usage Notes
Do not exceed the maximum mechanical speed (12000 1/min) or shaft loads (50 N axial, 100 N radial). This can damage the encoder’s bearings and reduce service life. Ensure the encoder is mounted securely to prevent vibration and misalignment.
Avoid exposing the encoder to temperatures outside its operating range. For cold environments, use the optional -20…+70 °C temperature range to ensure stable performance. Keep the encoder clean and free of debris to maintain IP65 protection.
Regularly inspect the wiring and connections to ensure they are tight and free of corrosion. If you need to adjust parameters, use the designated fieldbus-device programming tool to avoid damaging the encoder.
