Sensor-Bearing Unit

Adding an encoder to a - electric motor

- geared motor

- printing or conveyor roller

could be as easy as changing a bearing.

bearing

Sensor-Bearing Units are mechatronic machine components covering the fields of both sensor and bearing engineering. They are virtually an ideal combination of versatile deep groove ball bearings with sensor units provided with shielding from external influences.
Sensor body, impulse ring and bearing are mechanically attached to each other, forming an integral ready-to-mount unit which can answer the requirements of today market as down-sizing, place and weight reduction, cost saving, safety, reliability and more electronic and user friendly equipments. Compared with the initial concept of separate components, the integration of sensor, impulse ring and bearing in one simple unit is an important step towards higher quality in signal generation and transmission, more compact construction and simpler design.

The Sensor-Bearing Units is your ideal solution when you need:

the bearing function and
the relative position of the inner ring vs. the outer ring
the speed of rotation
the direction of rotation
the acceleration or deceleration.

Active sensor design

The encoder unit uses a compact and robust active sensor that produces an incremental encoder signal. The sensor is accurate down to zero r/min. Its main components include an impulse ring, a sensor body with sensors and a connecting cable.

A composite, magnetized impulse ring is attached to the bearing inner ring. Depending on the bearing size, it is divided into a number of north and south poles. The number of pulses per revolution ranges between 32 and 80.

The sensor body has two cells, enabling the direction of rotation to be determined. The two sensors are offset to each other in the sensor body. In a small integrated circuit they contain not only the Hall cell as an active element but also the electronics for signal amplification and conversion. The analogue sinusoidal signal generated by the Hall cell is amplified and converted into a square-wave signal by a Schmitt trigger (fig). The leading signal determines the direction of rotation.

Furthermore two sensors double the number of pulses. For example, a 6206 deep groove ball bearing will normally generate 64 pulses per revolution. However, with two sensors, the same bearing will generate 128 pulses per revolution. When counting the rising and falling edges of the pulses, a maximum accuracy of 256 pulses per revolution can be obtained, which corresponds to a resolution of 1,4 angular degrees.

The sensor requires an external voltage supply. The signal output is fed via an open collector circuit. Speeds down to zero r/min can be recorded.

Furniture Manufacturer Improves Machine Life and Output with RPS

Problem:

Running their drilling/milling machine 24/7, a major furniture manufacturer needed to replace the y-axis rack and pinion drive system every two months at a cost of $5,000 USD. The laminate particle board being processed on the machine produced a large amount of wood dust, that when mixed with the grease of the rack and pinion system, produced an abrasive mixture attracting particulate resulting in premature rack wear, lost accuracy and ultimately rusting the system.

Due to the frequent downtime, the furniture manufacturer needed a second machining system to avoid downtime in the round-the-clock manufacturing operation.

Solution:

After seeing information on the Roller Pinion System (RPS), the manufacturer installed the RPS on one of their two machines. Running with no lubrication, the RPS has been running for two years without a problem. And, not only has RPS eliminated downtime due to drive system failure, but it has dramatically improved drill/mill accuracy and overall process speed.

About the Product:

Roller Pinion System is an advanced new technology that revolutionizes linear motion. The RPS provides zero backlash, very high positional accuracy, unlimited length, very high speeds, 99% efficiency, low noise, low maintenance, corrosion resistance and long life. This product opens up new possibilities to achieve much higher levels of performance in machine designs.
