Dynapar launches NexGen RIM Tach 8500

RT8 RIM TACH EncoderJune 1st, 2011—Dynapar announces the next generation RIM Tach 8500, our heavy duty bearing-less encoder which is a part of the industry leading NorthStar product portfolio. This next gen RIM Tach product delivers superior ease-of-installation and a robust, rugged design demanded by customers for tough vector-motor applications.

The next generation design continues the RIM Tach tradition with stainless steel sensor modules and ductile cast iron housing. The sensor module uses a new rugged magnetic technology that delivers a 70 thousandths air gap, the largest sensing gap in the industry. For ease-of-installation, the new RIM Tach 8500 is designed with a generous axial play of up to 0.50 inches and does not require any precision tools or measurements.

Dynapar’s Next Gen Rim Tach Features:

  • The largest non contact air gap in the industry which greatly improves product reliability and application forgiveness.
  • A new wheel design which includes a metal edge guard to protect the magnetic wheel material from accidental strikes and allows the wheel to lock to the shaft without shaft damage.
  • A convenient diagnostic LED to provide visual status of encoder functionality.
  • New sensor and wheel combinations that are backwards compatible with old housings for convenient and economical upgrade ability to the new technology.
Availability
As with its predecessor, the RT8 is built to order and available for the general market starting June, 2011. Dynapar will continue to redesign and release the other RIM Tach series (RIM 1250, RIM 6200) products over the course of the year. The RT8 will be marketed under the NorthStar brand name and will be manufactured in the company’s Gurnee, IL manufacturing facility.
