36 mm Absolute Encoder With CANopen Interface
36 mm Absolute Encoder With CANopen Interface

Product Indroduction

A new version with integrated CANopen interface was added to the magnetic encoder line MCD that was introduced by POSITAL in 2007. First samples are available since March 2008, series production is scheduled for July 2008.

Application

The encoder line MCD was designed to become a cost efficient alternative for applications where, in the past, only incremental or potentiometric rotary encoders could be used. However its small dimensions, of only 36mm diameter and 48mm length, open up new application potentials, such as in medical technology, and in small- scale drive systems, elevator systems, mobile machinery, wind and solar energy etc.

Technology

High-resolution absolute encoder is based on magnetical technology. Singleturn encoding is based on a 360° Hall technology. Multiturn encoding based on an innovative magnetic pulse counter without backup battery.
