Encoders Offer Wide Range of Motion

Aug. 22, 2017

Rotary Electric Encoders provide exceptionally accurate, high resolution, absolute position with miniature to wide diameter hollow shaft.  Available with Analog Sin/Cos , Digital SSi , Digital AqB+I  outputs, these rotary encoders feature up to 20 Bit Resolution (with 12 bit A/D) and accuracy to <0.01-deg.

 

The Electric Encoder non-contact technology relies on interaction between the measured displacement and a space/time modulated electric field. It offers a blend of features unequalled by optical or magnetic encoders.

  • Simple, robust structure with a virtually no- failure- mechanism
  • Generous mounting tolerances
  • Very low weight, inertia, and profile (=<10 mm)
  • Ring shaped, hollow shaft with a wide range of diameters
  • Absolute position output over 360-deg. rotation range
  • Precision to 0.001-deg. in selected models
  • Default operation range from -55° to +125°C
  • Dual and triple redundancy options
  • No magnetic signature
  • High tolerance to condensation and contaminants
  • Insensitivity to EMI/RFI and magnetic fields
  • High customizability
  • Low power consumption
  • Ultra-high-speed options
  • Wide variety of position feedback protocols
  • Models range from 25 mm OD to 248 mm OD [6 mm to 170 mm ID]
