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).
