Fci oen connectors ltd. Offers miniature magnetic encoder, escap f16 incremental encoder, manufactured byportescap. These encoder comprises two quadrature output channels in a diameter of only 16 mm. The base resolution of 16 pulses per revolution results in 64 pulses with quadrature. This represents a pulse every 5,631, with a precision of ±2.10, opening vast possibilities for position control for miniature motors and mechanisms. The integrated electronic circuit works reliably up to 50,000 rpm, enabling for speed control over a wide range. Advantages of magnetic encoders are as follows:
- their insensitivity to contamination and humidity. Low
- power consumption: the escap fl6 needs a current of only 6 ma and a voltage between 3.5 v and 15 v.
The new sensor can be offered into five escap dc motor series, the 16n, 17n, 22s, 22n and 22v. It is given with a 150 mm cable with standard 10-pin plug.
