Incremental encoder gives reliable
feedback
Incremental encoder provides reliable incremental feedback for speeds up to 10,000 rpm while maintaining marker width and synchronization.
The new 2.5in CoreTech CI25 Series Incremental Encoder from Stegmann ships in just 2-3 days with any incremental count from 1 to 8,192 ppr - without any price adder Up to 820kHz frequency response and a firmware generated marker pulse of 90f or 180f provides reliable incremental feedback for speeds up to 10,000 rpm while maintaining marker width and synchronization

Servomotor feedback system mounts onto motor shaft
Sick Stegmann has introduced the SinCos SEK52 servomotor feedback system which is compact, cost effective and mounts directly to motor shaft.
Alignment of electrical position to the mechanical encoder position is quick and easy with a simple setline.
These incremental encoders provide maximum operating speeds of up to 10,000 rpm.
They are designed to handle radial or axial loads of up to 40 lb.
(90N), and reliably operate in temperatures ranging from -4 to 185degF (-20 to 85degC).
The new CoreTech concept uses a minimum number of very sophisticated components to achieve maximum variety: A proprietary hybrid OPTO-ASIC and a small, unique code disk.
In contrast to conventional encoders with a continuous repetition of opaque and transparent fields on the code disk, CoreTech reads the information from one circular barcode track.
A second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data which, when synchronized with the data from the barcode track, results in high resolution and accuracy.
Both tracks are read simultaneously by a sophisticated sensor array on the hard-wired OPTO-ASIC.
Stegmann is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sick AG in Waldkirch, Germany.
Stegmann is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
