Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Inc.'s integrated magnetic encoder is a compactand fully enclosed incremental encoder that utilizes solid state technology andincludes both analog detection circuitry and full signal processing from asingle chip. When combined with theHaydon can stack linear actuator, position feedback can be obtained for use incritical applications including medical equipment, analysis devices androbotics.

The64 line quadrature encoder system utilizes a high energy neodymium magnet and providesan 8 bit digital resolution resulting in a total of 256 output pulses perrevolution. The encoder provides 90degree phase shifted A/B output channels along with a single index pulse forevery complete shaft rotation. The encodercircuitry samples angular position at 10,000 samples per second for an outputupdate every 100 microsecs.

The256 pulse magnetic encoder can be a replacement for optical encoders and isvirtually immune to vibration, shock, dust and contaminants. The encoder can be operated using either a3.3 or 5V input voltage. When combined with the Haydon 25000 series linearactuator, a linear motion package is created.

TheHaydon 25000 Series is part of the G4 line of high-output can stack linearactuators. Improvements includeoptimized stator tooth geometry, high energy neodymium magnets, customengineered polymers, and larger ball bearings for greater rotor support andaxial loading.
