Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Inc.'s integrated magnetic encoder is a compact
and fully enclosed incremental encoder that utilizes solid state technology and
includes both analog detection circuitry and full signal processing from a
single chip. When combined with the
Haydon can stack linear actuator, position feedback can be obtained for use in
critical applications including medical equipment, analysis devices and
robotics.
The
64 line quadrature encoder system utilizes a high energy neodymium magnet and provides
an 8 bit digital resolution resulting in a total of 256 output pulses per
revolution. The encoder provides 90
degree phase shifted A/B output channels along with a single index pulse for
every complete shaft rotation. The encoder
circuitry samples angular position at 10,000 samples per second for an output
update every 100 microsecs.
The
256 pulse magnetic encoder can be a replacement for optical encoders and is
virtually immune to vibration, shock, dust and contaminants. The encoder can be operated using either a
3.3 or 5V input voltage. When combined with the Haydon 25000 series linear
actuator, a linear motion package is created.
The
Haydon 25000 Series is part of the G4 line of high-output can stack linear
actuators. Improvements include
optimized stator tooth geometry, high energy neodymium magnets, custom
engineered polymers, and larger ball bearings for greater rotor support and
axial loading.
