Low Cost Magnetic Encoders Solve Encoder Problems for Motor Manufacturers

From Avtron Industrial Automation, Inc.
 

 
The sensor/rotor gap was extremely small, often less than 0.010", requiring precise adjustments and mounting. Old magnetic encoders were subject to "sensor crashes". Avtron's Wide-Gap technology in the THIN-LINE products (M56, M67, M85, M115) eliminates this problem, as does the self-adjusting gap in the SMARTach products (M285, M1250).
