Why use the new low cost magnetic encoder?

· Multiturn encoder for usage at the motor- or outputshaft; no additional gearing necessary.· High resolution of << 0.1° offers flexibility in industrial operator mounting situations · Low cost compared to traditional optical encoders · Compact in size · Reliable industrial design, intended for high cycling · Rugged against special door environment containing dust, dirt, grease, moisture etc. · No internal / external battery back-up necessary, as with other magnetic encoders · Encoder counts even when no power supply is attached
