First Choice Encoder for Subsea Applications
Subsea Encoder for Deep Water Operations --- 6000 meters / 600 bar
SCANCON Encoders introduces its newly tested SCH68SUB model, an encoder designed specifically
for subsea operations. In recent years, Exploration and Production companies have focused on
designing and installing subsea facilities. One of the many difficulties they encountered was the
inability of encoders to work in the subsea environment unless housed in a pressurized container.
Scancon recognized the need for an encoder that could operate in this harsh ocean environment
and developed the SCH68SUB, the industry’s first heavy-duty encoder for use in subsea operations.
The SCH68SUB is designed and has been tested for offshore applications that require operation at
water depths now down to 6000 meters (~ 20,000 feet) (actually down to 6500m). Unique among
its competitors, the SCH68SUB does not require a pressurized container. The SCH68SUB is a
magnetic incremental encoder offering an ø 20 mm or ø 1 inch hollow bore, resolution of 2048
ppr, and an environmental rating of IP68/IP69K. The SCH68SUB is ideal for use in subsea robotics,
ROVs, and other seafloor applications that require motion control or position feedback.
