Product catalog summary
Introduction
TWK has been a leader in sensor manufacturing since 1962, offering over 130 model lines. This document highlights key examples and strengths of TWK's sensor product groups.
Rotary Encoders
Available in absolute or incremental designs, these encoders range from 12 to 105 mm and feature interfaces like CANopen, PROFINET, and EtherCAT. They are certified to SIL2 IEC 61508 and PLd ISO 13849 standards, designed for high vibration and shock resistance, with protection classes up to IP69K.
Inclinometers
TWK's inclinometers range from 65 to 90 mm, supporting 1 or 2 measuring axes with ranges from ±5° to 360°. They include interfaces such as CANopen and PROFINET, are certified to SIL2 IEC 61508 and PLd ISO 13849, and offer high vibration resistance with optional gyroscope sensor fusion.
Vibration Sensors
Designed for harsh conditions, these sensors range from 65 to 120 mm and include MEMS-based acceleration recording and safety shut-off functions. They feature interfaces like CANopen and PROFINET, with protection classes up to IP69K.
Linear Transducers & Scanners
Operating on magnetostrictive, inductive, or potentiometric principles, these devices have measuring ranges up to 7,600 mm. They offer interfaces like PROFIBUS and EtherCAT, with protection classes up to IP68, and are suitable for ATEX zones 2 & 22.
Switching Cam Encoders
Compact and precise, these encoders range from 58 to 120 mm, with interfaces like CANopen and SSI, offering resolutions up to 32,768 steps/360°. They are certified for safety standards SIL2 IEC 61508 and PLd ISO 13849, with protection classes up to IP69K.
Draw-Wire Displacement Converters
These converters measure displacements from 1 to 60 m, using flexible steel braid cables, housed in anodised aluminium with protection classes from IP54 to IP65. They are designed for durability, withstanding up to 1 million load changes.
Accessories
The range includes robust bellows couplings, clamping couplings, and various mounting materials, designed for high-resolution rotary encoders with protection classes up to IP65.
Interfaces
Industry-standard interfaces include analogue, incremental, and potentiometric, with options for smart NFC interfaces for mobile sensor configuration.
