AksIM-2™ off-axis rotary absolute encoder

AksIM-2 is a non-contact, high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder designed for integration into applications with limited space. A hollow ring, true absolute functionality and high-speed operation make this encoder suitable for many applications.

The AksIM-2 encoder system consists of an axially magnetised ring and a readhead.

The encoders are equipped with BiSS, asynchronous-serial (UART), SPI, PWM or SSI communication interfaces and offer a range of binary resolutions up to 20 bits per revolution.

The encoder operates in a temperature range from -40 °C to +105 °C and is highly resistant to shock and vibration.

The AksIM-2 encoder has a built-in advanced self-monitoring function that continuously checks several internal parameters. Error reports, warnings and other status signals are available on all communication interfaces and are visualised with the on-board LED.

The AksIM-2 encoder system is suitable for use in industrial and medical applications.

A typical application is a robot arm joint with a cable feed through the ring, or a precision gearbox where the ring is mounted on the main transmission shaft.

A custom design service for OEM integration is also available.
