MIT launches new 17-bit absolute magnetic encoder
MIT Launches KEM17S-35mm Rotary Position Encoder Based on Advanced AMR Technology
The KEM17S-35mm utilizes advanced Anisotropic Magnetoresistive (AMR) technology. By detecting the rotating magnetic field in the X-Y sensor plane, it provides two sinusoidal output signals that indicate the precise angular range (alpha) between the sensor and the magnetic field direction.
Applications:
- Absolute angular position sensing
- Brushless DC (BLDC) motor control
- Servo motor control
- Stepper motor control
- Optical encoder replacement
Key Features & Benefits:
- Advanced AMR Technology: Enables 0° to 360° full-angle sensing.
- High Precision: 17-bit absolute single-turn encoder with a resolution of 131,072 positions.
- Ultra-Low Latency: Output propagation delay of less than 2μs.
- Industrial Grade: Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.
- Output Interface: Digital / Pure Binary.
- Communication: RS485 serial interface.
- Easy Installation: Each package includes an NdFeB magnet for streamlined user assembly and production.
- Integrated Design: All-in-one 35mm to 60mm plastic housing (mounting flange included).
