The new FG(HJ) 40-2 for heavy duty applications

Built on Proven Reliability. Enhanced for the Future.

At Barlow Technology, we are proud to introduce the new FG(HJ) 40-2 incremental encoder from Hübner Giessen. As the sole supplier of Hübner Giessen products to heavy industry sectors across the UK & Ireland, we are excited to bring this next-generation solution to customers who demand maximum reliability in the harshest environments.

Fully compatible with its predecessor; both mechanically and electrically; the FG(HJ) 40-2 takes heavy-duty encoder performance a step further, delivering enhanced functionality, greater flexibility, and faster availability, while retaining the legendary durability and long service life Hübner Giessen is known for.

Engineered for Heavy-Duty Applications

The FG(HJ) 40-2 is a robust upgrade, purpose-built for heavy industry applications where reliability, flexibility, and performance are critical. From steel and mining to ports, cranes, and energy, this encoder is designed to perform where others fall short.

A Smarter Modular Design

The FG(HJ) 40-2 has been developed using a newly optimised modular system. This reduces the number of variants without compromising flexibility, allowing for:

  • Faster delivery times
  • More efficient configuration
  • Easier adaptation to specific application requirements

This makes the encoder an ideal choice for both new installations and direct replacements in existing systems.

What’s New in the FG(HJ) 40-2

This latest generation includes several important upgrades:

  • State-of-the-art scanning system for improved signal quality
  • Freely selectable pulse frequency (1–100,000), including support for two independent systems
  • Integrated LED status display for quick diagnostics
  • Standardised high protection class (IP66 / IP67)
  • New connection terminals for easier and more robust installation

Key Technical Features

Designed for demanding industrial applications, the FG(HJ) 40-2 offers outstanding technical performance:

  • Hollow shafts up to Ø 25 mm
  • Solid shafts up to Ø 14 mm (flange or foot mounting)
  • Resolution up to 100,000 PPR (HTL / TTL)
  • Wide temperature range from -40 to +100 °C
  • High protection class up to IP66 / IP67
  • Shaft insulation up to 1 kV
