Use in corrosive, damp, and galvanic environments

The respective information for corrosion protection and surface protection apply for the encoder's operating conditions.

The following encoders are also suitable for the described operating conditions:

Built-in encoders: EI71, EI72, EI76, EI7C, EI8R, EI8C, EI8Z

Add-on encoders: EK8R, EK8C, EK8X, EK8S, EK8W, AK8W, AK8Y, EK8Z, EK9Z, AK8Z

• Proximity to electroplating baths (caustic sodas, phosphoric acids, sulfuric acids, nitric acids); the motor and encoder must not be directly exposed to the electroplating bath
• Environments with salty air and moisture; the encoder has been inspected in accordance with:
• 1440 h salt spray (salt spray test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9227 NSS: 2017-07),
• 720 h condensation (condensation constant climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 6270-2 CH: 2018-04)
• 240 h CASS (salt spray test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9227 CASS: 2017-07; CASS: Copper accelerated salt spray test).

Note that disassembly can be made more difficult by prolonged, excessive exposure of the mount-on parts to salt.
