Portescap, a leading innovator in miniature motion solutions, has announced the release of the M-Sense16 magnetic encoder, which it says is the perfect pairing for the demanding requirements of diagnostic analysers and lab automation equipment.
This encoder features advancements in chip technology, providing the high degree of accuracy essential for precise positioning and closed-loop motion feedback. With a resolution range of up to 1,024 lines, the M-Sense16 ensures reliable performance in critical applications.
In diagnostic analyser and lab automation settings, precision and throughput are paramount. The M-Sense16 excels in these environments, with its integral non-linearity of just 1.5 degrees guaranteeing consistent and accurate positioning.
Its resolution options allow engineers to fine-tune feedback for each axis, ensuring seamless coordination across X, Y, and Z axes. The encoder's compact 16mm diameter, combined with an appropriate brushless DC or DC coreless motor and gearbox, helps reduce the machine footprint, optimising space in lab settings says the company.
The M-Sense16 offers flexibility with cable or terminal outputs and options for axial or radial cable configurations. Additionally, a connector can be included for straightforward connection to the PCB.
