Dunkermotoren ME52 Magnetic Pulse Generator

The Dunkermotoren ME 52 is a magnetic pulse generator that works contact-free and wear-free using Hall sensors and a magnetic ring. It provides 2 ppr or 12 ppr (8 or 48 cpr) depending on version, with open collector plus pull-up output and two square-wave signals 90° phase shifted. The ME 52 is compatible with the GR 42, GR 53, GR 63 and BG 62 d...

The Dunkermotoren ME 52 is a magnetic pulse generator that works contact-free and wear-free using Hall sensors and a magnetic ring. It provides 2 ppr or 12 ppr (8 or 48 cpr) depending on version, with open collector plus pull-up output and two square-wave signals 90° phase shifted. The ME 52 is compatible with the GR 42, GR 53, GR 63 and BG 62 dCore motor series.

Supply voltage ranges from 5 Vdc to 26.5 Vdc, with a minimum of 7.5 Vdc required below 0°C. The ME 52 RR variant meets the requirements of EN 50155 for railway rolling stock. Protective hoods in IP 54 or higher are available on request.

Dunkermotoren ME 52 magnetic pulse generator with ring housing, hollow bore and four lead-out wires
Features
  • Hall-sensor and magnetic-ring sensing runs contact-free, so there are no wear surfaces to service on high-cycle machinery
  • Choose 2 ppr or 12 ppr (8 or 48 cpr) to match the feedback resolution to the axis instead of over-specifying the controller
  • Two square-wave channels 90° apart resolve direction as well as speed, so reversing loads are tracked correctly
  • Open collector with pull-up already fitted connects straight to controller inputs — no external resistor network to add
  • 5–26.5 Vdc supply spans common 12 V and 24 V control rails, with a 7.5 Vdc minimum below 0°C for cold-start installations
  • ME 52 RR variant meets EN 50155, opening the same feedback design up to railway rolling-stock projects

FAQs
The ME 52 is available in 2 ppr (8 cpr) or 12 ppr (48 cpr) depending on version. Confirm your motor pairing (GR 42, GR 53 or GR 63) with Powerbox to specify the correct resolution.
The ME 52 operates from 5 Vdc to 26.5 Vdc. Below 0°C ambient, a minimum supply of 7.5 Vdc is required.
The ME 52 RR meets the requirements of EN 50155, the standard for electronic equipment on railway rolling stock, making it suitable for rail applications where the standard ME 52 is not certified.
The ME 52 is compatible with the GR 42, GR 53 and GR 63 geared motor series.
The ME 52 uses an open collector output with an integrated pull-up resistor, connecting directly to standard PLC and controller inputs without an external resistor network.
No. The ME 52 senses position using Hall sensors and a magnetic ring, so operation is contact-free with no brushes or wear surfaces to service.
The ME 52 is supplied as standard; protective hoods rated IP 54 or higher are available on request for harsher installations.
Contact sales@powerbox.com.au with your motor series (GR 42, GR 53 or GR 63) and whether a rail-rated (RR) variant is required, to confirm the correct ME 52 configuration.
