High performance stepper motors now cost less
Tamagawa has introduced a range of stepper motors which compare favourably with other high performance models but at much lower cost.
New, compact 17-bit absolute encoder
Designed as easy replacements for older, less capable models, Smart Abs is even smaller than its closest competitor which is only a 15-bit encoder.
Standard encoders measure from only 13mm O.D (with 1.5mm hollow shaft bore) - 200mm O.D (with a 90mm hollow shaft bore).
Specials are also available.
This wide choice allows most needs to be met by this versatile design in applications stretching from machine tools, high performance test and measurement apparatus to radar and satellite tracking systems.
These encoders are particularly suited to applications which require the accurate translation of positioning data across an extended physical distance.
They are therefore ideal for long arm robot applications and remote satellite tracking systems where the highest accuracy angular measurements are required.
There are two important factors which differentiate the MEH hollow shaft range of encoders from its competitors.
The design is more compact and therefore suitable for a wider range of applications.
The MEH range is also less expensive.
Both benefits are the result of consistent investment in design and manufacture.
The MEH range is manufactured by MicroTec Laboratory Inc., of Japan.
MTL is one of Asia's premier manufacturers of encoders with a longstanding working relationship with the continent's automotive industry and research associations.
Much of its work is Government sponsored and this funding has led to the introduction of many new encoder products.
Designers in the UK can now take advantage of this technology via sole UK distributor, Encoder Technology. Request a free brochure from Encoder Technology ...
