Magnetic Encoders from MACCON

Magnetic encoders, also known as magnetic rotary encoders, enable highly reliable position and angle measurement based on a contactless, wear-free measuring principle.

Magnetic Encoders

Magnetic encoders, also known as magnetic rotary encoders, enable highly reliable position and angle measurement based on a contactless, wear-free measuring principle.

Thanks to their high robustness, they are suitable for both incremental and absolute position measurement under harsh environmental conditions.

They are highly insensitive to dust, moisture, vibration as well as thermal and mechanical stress. This makes magnetic measurement systems the ideal choice for applications where reliability, durability and stability are essential.

Key Features:

  • Robust, durable design for harsh environments
  • Insensitive to dirt, moisture and temperature fluctuations
  • Contactless, wear-free measuring principle
  • Suitable for incremental and absolute position measurement
  • Reliable performance even under strong mechanical and thermal influences

MACCON MR-Encoder

ABSOLUTE ENCODER for AEROSPACE and Hi-Rel APPLICATIONS

The MACCON MR-Encoder has been developed for the measurement of absolute position in extreme
physical environments, such as aviation- and space applications, with a resolution up to 19 Bits. The MR-
Encoder consists of one reading head and one measurement wheel

Key Features

  • The sensor head is fully passive with NO integrated electronics and is based on the GMR effect
    (Giant Magneto-resistance)
  • Due to its simplicity and passive structure the MR encoder head is highly robust and reliable
  • Encoder rings can be scaled to fit the application; hollow-shaft designs can be easily implemented
  • Highly flexible with regard to positioning and mounting of the reading head(s)
  • Accurate, light and low power consumption
  • Measurement is absolute over 360° (temporary position loss can be immediately corrected) due to
    analogue cosine and sine position signals of the reading heads.
  • Duplication of reading heads allows direct implementation of multiple redundancy
  • Insensitive to environmental influences, such as radiation fields and vacuum condition, as well as to
    temperature, vibration and shock.
  • An optional external signal conversion box (SSI and SPI) can be connected to the reading head
    analogue signals for the conversion to SSI and SPI absolute position.

Resolver

Resolvers are inductive angle sensors based on electromagnetic induction and are characterized by extremely robust and reliable measurement performance. They provide analog signals proportional to the angular position of the rotor and are particularly suitable for harsh environments and applications with high demands on reliability and service life. Unlike optical or magnetic encoders, resolvers are insensitive to dust, moisture, vibration, temperature changes and electromagnetic interference. Thanks to their simple and mechanically stable design, they are often used in drives for aerospace, defence, industrial automation and mobile machinery, where maximum operational reliability is required.

Key Features

  • Inductive, contactless measuring principle
  • Extremely robust and durable
  • Insensitive to vibration, dirt and temperature
  • Suitable for harsh environmental conditions
  • Analog output signals proportional to angular position
