Orbis™
Rotary Magnetic Encoder Module


Orbis™ is a non-contact through-hole rotary encoder designed for applications where a typical OnAxis encoder cannot be mounted at the end of the rotating shaft due to space constraints.
Orbis™ through-hole encoder system consists of a readhead and diametrically magnetised permanent magnet ring.
Output signals are provided in industry standard absolute, incremental, and analogue sinusoidal (sin/cos) signals.
For BISS-C, SPI, SSI, Asynchronous serial and PWM communication please refer to BRD01 Data sheet.
For Analogue sin/cos, commutation and incremental outputs please refer to BRD14 Data sheet.
