SMAR1 Off-Axis Modular Encoder
SMAR1 is an off-axis absolute singleturn modular encoder to be paired with an MRA magnetic ring. It is designed in an open PCB (readhead) and an ultra-flat ring with up to 18 mm (0.708”) through bore (the outer diameter of the ring is 34 mm / 1.338”). The readhead is compact and low profile, the ring is very thin and axially magnetized. The whole measuring system is engineered and shrunk down in size and weight to be easily integrated into space critical applications such as robotic joints, hollow shaft motors (direct drive torque motors, …), brushless and servo motors, OEM equipment. The overall thickness of the measuring system is 9 mm / 0.354”.
The range of the operating temperature is -25°C +100°C (-13°F +212°F); it can be -25°C +115°C (-13°F +239°F) on request. Sure enough the system must be installed inside an enclosure suitable for the requested protection rate. It is offered in both incremental and absolute versions.
The compact slim design and the rich set of electrical features make SMAR1 modular encoder ideally suited for position control of motors, direct drives, industrial robots, video surveillance systems, and applications with confined measurement and installation space.
Lika Electronic develops customer-specific solutions to meet individual size, shape, resolution, and connection needs.
Linear encoders
Lika's incremental and absolute linear encoders are suitable for industrial applications and combine high performance with rugged mechanical design and a wide choice of options.
They can be a great alternative to optical encoders. They adopt magnetic sensing technology, so they operate without contact and ensure virtually wear- and maintenance-free operation.
Magnetic technology is highly immune to external interferences such as light, oil, grease, water, chemical contaminants, etc. and enables to easily adopt PCB protection methods such as encapsulating, tropicalization, conformal coating, varnishing. In this way they can achieve the highest protection rates (IP67 to IP69K) and reliably operate in the harshest industrial environments.
Lika's range of linear encoders has grown more and more and includes today a wide variety of both incremental and absolute devices. It has been also enriched with many solutions dedicated to custom applications such as lateral reading sensors, sensors for toothed wheels and racks, sensors for UHV installations.
