The RCN series (2xxx, 5xxx and 8xxx) angle encoders have a fault exclusion to loosen the mechanical connection. The absolute encoders are available both standard and functionally safe-certified. When the encoders are used within proper speed parameters, temperatures and angular accelerations—and with the addition of a catch ring or spring pins, depending on the coupling method—they achieve a positive mechanical connection, which helps eliminate the possibility of the encoder loosening and producing false data.
