Linear encoder in tiny SMD-package

POSIC expands its portfolio of incremental encoder kits with the ID4501 programmable encoder that is housed in a tiny SMD package measuring only 5x6 mm. The linear scale is 3.7 mm wide and up to 550 mm long. The profile-height of encoder and scale together is below 2 mm. Encoder and scale are robust against dust, particles, oil, grease and liquids, do not have to be cleaned for correct operation and function flawlessly in magnetic fields.

The Evaluation and Programming Tool EPT allows you to program resolution (down to 0.1 um) and maximum speed (up to 20 m/s) according to your application-requirements. For high-accuracy applications, it is possible to linearize the ID4501 against a reference-encoder and program the linearization data (LookUp Table) directly into the ID4501’s memory.

The ID4501 encoder, codewheels, linear scales and the Evaluation and Programming Tool are available from stock.
