POSITAL has a new star in its growing family of kit (modular) encoders. Only 22 mm in diameter and 23 mm long, these new devices are the world’s smallest absolute encoders with self-powered multi-turn measurement capabilities. They are ideal for small stepper motors, servo motors and miniature robots. Multi-turn absolute kit encoders – including POSITAL’s new 22 mm units and their 36 mm diameter “big brothers” – are especially useful for motors or drives connected to screw shafts, cable drums or gear reduction systems. The rotation counter is self-powered (using a miniaturized version of POSITAL’s Wiegand energy harvesting technology) so that the rotation count is always up-to-date, even if the machinery moves while system power is unavailable. With no need for backup batteries, these devices virtually maintenance free!POSITAL magnetic kit encoders are designed to be installed under normal manufacturing conditions and don’t require high-precision, near-cleanroom assembly processes. A built-in self-calibration capability can compensate for small sensor-to-shaft alignment errors, further simplifying assembly. Electronic components, including the Hall-effect sensors and Wiegand-wire assemblies, are packaged in a compact unit that is shielded from external magnetic fields. The operating temperature range is – 40 ° to 105 ° C. Communications are based on open SSI and BiSS interface standards. Samples of the new 22 mm kit encoder will be available in Q1 2020, with mass production ramping up over the following months. Integrated units (with shafts and bearings) will be introduced in 2020. POSITAL, a member of the international FRABA group, is a leading supplier of position sensors for motion control and industrial automation. The company has sales and production facilities in Europe, the US and Asia, backed up by an active R&D group based in Aachen, Germany. The staff of engineers, physicists and software specialists is dedicated to producing innovative products that meet the most stringent requirements for performance, reliability and cost effectiveness.
