Non-contact IO-Link encoder for hazardous locations

Turck Canada has introduced the QR24 non-contact encoder for use in explosion-proof areas (Zones 2, 22 or 3GD). The sensing unit and positioning unit are designed as two independent, fully encapsulated parts.

As a result, the QR24 is protected against dust, vibration, shock and impact. With certifications for hazardous areas, it is suitable for use in the chemical, mining and food processing industries.

IO-Link can be used to easily set parameters and other functions, the company says. The encoder can be used as a single-turn and semi-multiturn encoder.
