The encoder WDG 40A is also available as a particularly smooth- running low-friction encoder. The starting torque is thereby changed to ≤ 0.1 Ncm and the protection class at the shaft input to IP50.
The encoder WDG 40A can be supplied in a full IP67 version.
Max. RPM: 3500 rpm
Permitted Shaft-Loading, axial: 30 N
Permitted Shaft-Loading, radial: 45 N
Max. PPR: 1500 ppr
Starting-torque: approx. 1.2 Ncm at ambient temperature
The encoder WDG 40A with the output circuit types H24, R24 is also available with the extended temperature range -40 °C up to +80 °C (measured at the flange).
The encoder WDG 40A can be supplied with more than 2 m cable. The maximum cable length depends on the supply voltage and the frequency; see 'General Technical Data'
Please extend the standard order code with a three figure number, specifying the cable length in decimetres. 
Example: 5 m cable = 050
