Kübler Sendix 5883 Hollow Shaft Multiturn Absolute Encoder

A hollow-shaft multiturn encoder that slides onto the motor shaft

The Kübler Sendix 5883 is the through hollow-shaft version of the Sendix 58 absolute multiturn family with SSI or BiSS output. It is pushed straight onto a drive or motor shaft and held by a stator coupling or a spring element, so no coupling is needed. Position is stored by a mechanical gear with optical scanning, which means no battery is required, and the maximum resolution is 29 bits (19 bit singleturn plus 12 bit multiturn, 4096 revolutions).

The through hollow shaft can be up to 14 mm (or 1/2 inch), and a blind hollow shaft of 15 mm is also available. Kübler names wind energy and mobile automation as proven fields of use, and the die-cast housing keeps IP67 protection on the housing side with a working range of -40 to +90 C.

Selection and installation notes

Slide the encoder onto the shaft, clamp it with the slotted clamping ring, and secure the housing against rotation with the spring element or stator coupling; Kübler lists a 4 mm torque pin with fixing thread (8.0010.4700.0000) for the spring-element flange. Salt-spray-tested versions such as 8.5883.24X6.XX22-C and stainless steel V4A versions (1.4404) are listed as standard types for corrosive or marine sites.

Resolution, preset value and counting direction are factory-programmable, so specify them when ordering. For a solid-shaft version see the

Kübler Sendix 5863.

, or browse other encoders. Confirm the controller supports the SSI or BiSS clock rate before ordering.

How the Kübler Sendix 5883 works

The encoder slides onto the motor shaft through its hollow shaft. A mechanical gear counts the turns. An optical sensor reads the angle in each turn. Position is held without a battery and is sent out over SSI or BiSS.
