Baumer Electric has introduced the MagRes Magnetic Absolute Encoder, a groundbreaking innovation in speed, direction, and position monitoring, that features up to ten-bit resolution in a single turn configuration (see Plate 6).

Available in a standard encoder style housing or in a non-contact kit version, low cost Baumer MagRes encoders are zeropoint programmable, feature both SSI and parallel outputs, and will operate optimally in temperatures from –20 to 85°C.

The non-contact kit version of the MagRes encoder measures only 15.5mm in depth, weighs just 50g, and offers IP68 sealing on its face. This low cost, miniature MagRes kit features a rotor system that eliminates mechanical failure associated with wear of moving parts, and offers improved reliability. The non-contact encoder is designed with a 12-pin connector for easy installation.
