Magnetic encoders bring high performance, armored construction, simple mounting system, small size, and low purchase price to applications for motor control, shaft position, and speed measurements on medical equipment. The solid-state On-Axis units feature a Hall sensor ASIC epoxy-embedded inside a rugged metal housing to deliver IP68 sealing, extreme temperature range (-40 to 125C), and superior resistance to shock. Designed for easy integration on electric motors and other shaft-drive devices, the encoder ASIC/metal case can be mounted to motor backs, fit into a cast or machined hole, and simply fastened down with two screws. OnAxis magnetic encoders are available in analog, incremental, and absolute formats with resolutions up to 13 bit (8,192 counts/rev), speeds to over 30,000 rpm, measurement accuracies to 0.5°, and 5V or 24V power supply.
