Miniature Rotary Encoder Kit

Neuchatel, Switzerland, March 2010

POSIC introduces the highly miniaturized inductive rotary encoder kit ID1101C. The encoder-head measures only 9.0 x 6.8 mm with a thickness of 0.9 mm and provides A and B outputs in quadrature. The codewheel diameter is 28.2 mm with a thickness of 0.9 mm. The encoder is available in resolutions from 9 up to 14 bits, which corresponds to 128 up to 4098 CPR (Counts Per Revolution). The maximum speed depends on the resolution and ranges from 2’500 RPM at 14 bits up to 40’000 RPM at 10 bits or lower.

The main features of this kit encoder are its extremely small dimensions and its insensitivity to dust, water, oil, grease and even magnetic fields.

Typical applications are in the mechatronics and motion-control domains as speed or position feedback device. Markets served include industrial, robotics, medical, instrumentation, laboratory automation, office equipment.

Evaluation kits containing two cabled encoder heads, a codewheel and an interface board are available from stock.
