02

Absolute encoder

The absolute encoder provides precise positioning of a rotating shaft, making it ideal for applications requiring a high level of motion control. Its accurate feedback enhances system reliability, performance and operational safety.

Key features

  • Single-turn encoders (tracks position within one full rotation)

    • Φ 6 mm to Φ 8 mm

    • DC+5V

    • -10°C to +85°C

    • Up to 6 000 rpm

  • Multi-turn encoders (tracks position over multiple rotations)

    • Φ 5mm to Φ 8 mm

    • DC+5V

    • -10°C to +105°C

    • Up to 8 000 rpm

Typical applications

  • Robotics

  • Servo motors

  • Industrial equipment

03

Battery-less Encoder

The battery-less encoder operates without the need for a battery, retaining position information through alternative electronic methods. This eliminates battery maintenance and replacement, providing a more reliable solution with longer service life.

Key features

  • Shaft: Φ 5 mm to Φ 65 mm

  • Outside: Φ 35 mm to Φ 135 mm

  • DC+5V

  • -10°C to +105°C

  • Up to 8 000 rpm

Typical applications

  • Factory automation

  • Industrial equipment
