Dynapar Offers Limited Time Upgrade Promotion on RIM Tach NexGen Encoders

Dynapar announces a limited time upgrade promotion exclusive to the new NorthStar RIM Tach NexGen line of digital tachometers (encoders). The promotion offers a 40% discount on an initial RIM Tach NexGen order through January 31st, 2012. In partnership with our distribution network, these orders will be processed through the designated distributor of choice. The RIM Tach NexGen encoders are not only an ideal upgrade solution to mills already using the NorthStar RIM Tach line, but also to tough environments and rugged mill applications using competitor encoders.

“Dynapar is excited to offer this upgrade promotion on our RIM Tach NexGen products launched in December 2011” says Aparna Jue, Product Manager for Dynapar. “The RIM Tach NexGen series was thoroughly designed for harsh duty applications by adding extra heavy duty features to the already rugged NorthStar RIM Tach. The additional features enhance the ease of installation for the customer and contribute to the overall ruggedness of the product in the application. We are extremely pleased with our customer’s positive response to the RIM Tach NexGen products and are confident that an upgrade will be a worthwhile investment.”

The RIM Tach 8500 NexGen (RT8), RIM Tach 6200 NexGen (RT6) and RIM Tach 1250 NexGen (RT1) are part of our mill duty RIM family and provide precise and reliable position and velocity feedback from electric motors in heavy duty environments. The RIM Tach NexGen products deliver superior ease-of-installation and robust, rugged designs demanded by customers for tough vector-motor applications.

The new designs continue the RIM Tach tradition with stainless steel sensor modules and ductile cast iron housings. The sensor modules use a new rugged magnetic technology that delivers a 70 thousandths air gap, the largest sensing gap in the industry. For ease-of-installation, the RIM Tach NexGen products are designed with a generous axial play of up to 0.50 inches and do not require any precision tools or measurements. The encoders also come with a convenient diagnostic LED to provide visual status of encoder functionality.

Availability
As with its predecessors, the RT8, the RT6 and RT1 are built to order and available for the general market. The new models will be marketed under the NorthStar brand name and will be manufactured in the company’s Gurnee, IL manufacturing facility.
