OnAxis magnetic encoders bring high performance, tough construction, a simple mounting system, and small size to demanding motor control, shaft position, and velocity measurement applications for OEM manufacturers. The solid-state units feature a Hall sensor, ASIC epoxy-embedded inside a rugged metal housing to deliver high IP ratings, temperature range of -40 to 125C, and good resistance to shock, vibration, G forces, and pressures. The hard-body sealed encoders also deliver high EMC immunity when shielded according to installation instructions. Non-contact, frictionless, zero-wear operation delivers “fit and forget” reliability. The encoder integrates easily on electric motors and other shaft-drive devices. An ASIC/metal case can be mounted to motor backs or fit into a cast or machined hole, and it simply fastens down with two screws. Actuator magnets can be mounted onto or inset into the shaft. No adjustment is needed after mounting.
