Magnetic Encoder Technology

Magnetic absolute encoders provide reliable position feedback without battery backup. The magnetic sensing principle operates in contaminated environments where optical encoders may fail, making them well-suited for robot joint and industrial automation applications.

🔋

Battery-Free Absolute

Retains absolute position data across power cycles without battery backup or capacitor.

🧲

Magnetic Sensing

Magnetic principle operates reliably in dust, grease, and vibration environments.

📐

High Resolution

High-resolution position data for precise closed-loop robot joint control.

🔩

Compact Disc Format

Disc format mounts directly to eRob module output shaft without additional interface.

🔄

No Homing Required

Absolute position data eliminates homing sequences after power interruptions.

🤝

eRob Compatible

Designed to complement the eRob integrated joint module series.
