AksIM-2 is a non-contact high
performance off-axis absolute
rotary encoder designed for
integration into space-constrained
applications. A hollow ring, true
absolute functionality and high
speed operation make this encoder
suitable for many applications.
The AksIM-2 encoder system consists
of an axially magnetised ring and a
readhead.
The encoders come with SSI,
BiSS and asynchronous serial
communication interfaces and offer a
range of binary resolutions to 20 bits
per revolution.
The encoder operates from -30 °C
to +85 °C or -40 °C to +105 °C
with extended temperature range
option and is resistant to shock and
vibrations.
The AksIM-2 encoder has a built-in
advanced self-monitoring function,
continually checking several internal
parameters. Error reporting, warnings
and other status signals are available
on all communication interfaces and
are visualised with the on-board LED.
The AksIM-2 encoder system is
suitable for use in industrial and
medical applications.
A typical application is a robotic arm
joint with a cable feed running through
the ring or a precision gearbox where
the ring is attached onto the main
transmission shaft.
Custom design service for OEM
integration is also available.
