Dust-tight absolute optical encoders keep it clean
Agilent Technologies has developed its first absolute optical encoder products that provide position information without requiring shaft movement.
Modular encoder is absolutely cheaper
The industry's smallest high-speed "plug-and-play" absolute encoder is claimed to reduce assembly time by half and cut costs for industrial automation systems by as much as 40%.
Moreover, this magnetic encoder is ideal for use by designers of industrial flow meters, knob controls and a variety of other rotary encoder applications where space is limited.
The AEAT-60xx series of noncontact magnetic encoders, which comes in a round cylinder package that's 23mm in diameter and 23mm tall, provides designers with an integrated solution for angular detection in a small form factor package.
The encoders are designed to provide reliable performance in industrial applications that operate under high temperatures.
Today's industrial designers want smaller, more reliable encoders as end products continue to shrink in size, and the required capacities of these devices grow.
As a result, designers are looking for smaller absolute encoders to use in their feedback system that are more accurate, more reliable and have a lower cost.
Avago's AEAT-60xx series of magnetic encoders were developed to meet these design requirements.
Based on magnetic technology, the AEAT-60xx series can provide absolute angle detection upon power-up, with a resolution of 0.0879 degrees (12-bit versions) or 0.35 degrees (10-bit versions), which are equivalent to 4096 and 1024 positions per revolution respectively.
Moreover, there is no upper speed limit - the only restriction is that there will be fewer samples per revolution as the speed increases.
Avago's AEAT-60xx series of magnetic encoders come complete with housings and are available in 4, 6 and 8mm shaft diameters.
A PCB version without the housing is also available. Request a free brochure from Avago Technologies ...
