Inductive kit encoders work in harshest environments

Designed specifically for the accurate positioning of motor drives, industrial robotics and industrial motion control, the RAIK060 is a patented, off-axis rotational absolute inductive kit encoder that provides high repeatability, precision and high resolution in a single or multi-turns variant.

These encoders deliver rotation speeds up to 10,000 rpm and a latency time of less than or equal to 5 µs to allow for faster motor drive calculation processes. The repeatability of these position sensors is specified at greater than or equal to 17 bits, with overall accuracy at 13 bits and an encoder resolution of 18 bits.

To increase reliability, the RAIK060 offers built-in self-monitoring and memorization of its last position before powering off. Available outputs of the RAIK060 include an SPI, SSI and BiSS-C interface with single and multi-turn variants.

Other notable features include embedded self-calibration, a useful 360° electrical mechanical angle and easy assembly flexibility through status LED colors.

Built for operating in even the harshest environments, RAIK060 encoders are not sensitive to moisture, pollution, temperature, vibrations or shock. The encoders are also insensitive to external magnetic fields (no Hall effect cells), electrical fields and temperature, making them ideal for designs that require close proximity to electrical motors.

RAIK060 encoders feature a compact, space-saving and lightweight chassis-mount form factor, measuring only 60 mm in diameter, 5 mm in thickness and less than 15 g in weight.
