Linear Inductive Encoder Kit

Neuchatel, Switzerland, September 2009

POSIC introduces a highly miniaturized incremental inductive encoder kit IT3401 for linear applications. The sensor-head measures only 11 x 11 mm with a thickness of 0.9 mm and has A quad B and Index output signals. The linear scale is a 0.6 mm thick and 7.5 mm wide PCB-strip that comes in different lengths. The resolution ranges from 0.3 µm at a speed of 0.2 m/s to 150 µm at 50 m/s.

Typical applications are in the mechatronics and motion-control domains as position feedback device for magnetic actuators like brushed and brushless motors, voice coil actuators, solenoids, linear drives and more. Markets served include industrial, robotics, medical, instrumentation, laboratory automation, office equipment.

Evaluation kits containing 2 cabled sensors, a linear scale of 200 mm length and an interface board are available from stock.
