Low power for budget incremental
encoders
Thomson Micron has a new line of high-performance low-cost incremental encoders that have the ability for commutating.

Clevis-to-Clevis Actuators launched
Thomson Saginaw announces the availability of new AC, DC and miniature Clevis-to-Clevis Performance Pak Actuators (CPPA).
When compared with competing encoders, the new Thomson Micron encoders offer users lower current consumption, which translates into lower operating costs.
The incremental/commutating encoders are available in size 35 and 45mm diameters.
They are assembled with an integral PC board, which generates simulated Hall effect signals to initiate winding recognition for permanent magnet AC or DC servomotors.
Other features include: resolutions up to 6000 line/rev; two-channel quadrature output plus an index (which allows count resolution to increase to 24,000 count/rev and minimises the homing sequence); TTL-compatible line driver output (which boosts signal strength and increases immunity to noise over long cable lengths).
The new Micron components enable quick installation through an optimised mounting arrangement.
Hollow hub outputs offer flexible slotted mounts and eliminate the need for a coupling.
All encoders come standard with a cable and connector.
Thomson Micron optical encoders are ideal for applications such as pick-and-place robots, inspection equipment, indexing/positioning devices, coiling/winding operations, paper conversion equipment and gantry or elevator axes.
