Rotary Position Systems work in hazardous environments.
Press Release Summary:
Intrinsically Safe (IS) rotary position and speed sensing system meets international CENELEC/ATEX ratings. Rotary encoder, cable assembly, and intrinsic safety barrier components combine to satisfy requirements for loop-approved, Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C, and D sensing system. Built with BEI IS components, system can provide precision position measurement in wireline, slickline, logging, drawworks, coiled tubing, blenders, and power tong applications.
Original Press Release:
ATEX Approved Rotary Position Systems from BEI Save Time
Goleta - BEI's Industrial Encoder Division provides a complete rotary position and speed sensing system that meets international CENELEC/ATEX hazardous environmental ratings. The Intrinsically Safe (IS) system consists of a rotary encoder, cable assembly and an intrinsic safety barrier. When combined, these components satisfy requirements for a loop-approved, Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C and D (EEx ia IIC T4 CENELEC) sensing system.
This engineered solution means that hazardous area system designers no longer have to spend time assuring capability of a grouping of individual components. By specifying standard BEI IS components, operators can put a system together quickly that meets safety requirements for a hazardous area. These intrinsic safety rated systems can provide precision position measurement in wireline, slickline, logging, drawworks, coiled tubing, blenders, and power tong applications.
