EGS 40 / EGSH(J) 40

Construction type

Solid shaft (flange), Solid shaft (flange / foot), Hollow shaft

Output signals / Interfaces

Switch output speed

  • Monitor overspeeds and underspeeds (programmable)
  • Hollow shafts up to Ø 25 mm, solid shafts up to Ø 14 mm (flange or foot mounting)
  • Relay contact / switching output: Up to 4 programmable / up to 2 diagnostics
  • Options: Isolated ball bearings (hollow shaft), additional incremental output, further encoders attachable

The programmable speed monitors

The electronic overspeed switches monitor as many as four programmable speed ranges (overspeeds, underspeeds and standstill) with a high level of switching accuracy, including at low operating speeds. If a programmed speed is exceeded or is too low, the respective switching output switches. As a consequence, the speed switches play their part in system and personnel protection. They are installed on motors on cranes, in mining operations as well as in rolling mills and more. When devices are swapped it is possible to transfer the parameters previously stored on the first device to the new device.
