Miniature Incremental and Absolute Encoders
Lika Electronic offers a comprehensive range of miniature rotary encoders with flange diameters from 28 mm (1.102”) to 50 mm (1.968”) for position measurement and motion control feedback in constricted spaces. It includes both incremental and absolute encoders with optical and magnetic technology and is designed to meet the requirements of many and varied industries in light to harsh environment applications.
I40 and I41
I40 and I41 incremental rotary encoders are versatile measuring devices designed for an industrial use. They combine a miniature yet robust housing with the fine resolution up to 4,096 PPR.
They are ideal for constricted spaces in general-purpose industrial applications.
They can be equipped with 6 mm (0.236”) or 6.35 mm (1/4”) solid shafts. The position information is provided in square wave format via NPN o.c., PNP o.c., Push-Pull, Line Driver, and Universal output circuits and cable radial / axial outlet (even with DSub 9 pin or M12 8 pin integral connectors at theX.
I40 and I41 are in-stock products available for immediate delivery in several configurations (see the product datasheet for preferential models).
They excel in versatility and minimum footprint and are ideal for installation in industrial applications where space is tight such as industrial automation, electro-medical installations, packaging lines, textile machines.
C50, C50MI and C50MA
C50 is the most popular and best selling encoder range among Lika Electronic's portfolio and offers a comprehensive choice of models for many and varied industrial applications.
It is available in three versions: an incremental optical version with resolution up to 8,192 PPR (C50 model); an incremental magnetic version with high resolution up to 65,536 PPR (C50MI); and an absolute version with singleturn resolution up to 19 bits x 65,536 revolutions (C50MA).
The mechanical characteristics are the same for all models. They are designed in a 52 mm / 2.05” die-cast aluminium enclosure with through hollow shaft (6, 6.35, 8, 9.52 and 10 mm / 0.24”, 1/4”, 0.31”, 3/8”, and 0.39” bore diameters). The housing excels in the small diameter and the low thickness. A variety of regular as well as custom-made fixing plates allows many installation options. In addition they can be mounted on both front and rear sides to better fit specific applications. The degree of protection is IP65 and the operating temperature ranges between -25°C and +100°C (-13°F ÷ +212°F), it can be extended down to -40°C (-40°F) and up to +110°C (+230°F) on request.
C50 incremental encoder is equipped with the optical sensing technology and provides up to 8,192 pulses per revolution and AB0 plus inverted square wave signals through Universal, Push-Pull and Line Driver output circuits. C50 is an in-stock product available for immediate delivery.
C50MI incremental encoder offers TTL/RS-422 Line Driver level AB0 /AB0 signals with additional UVW /UVW commutation signals for brushless motor feedback. The incremental resolution is in the range 1 to 65,536 PPR. UVW signals are available in 1 to 16 pole pairs to fit different BLDC motor requirements.
C50MA absolute encoder can be equipped with SSI and BiSS C-mode serial communication protocols. It can be both singleturn and multiturn. The singleturn resolution ranges between 15 and 19 bits (up to 524,288 cpr); the number of revolutions is 65,536. The encoder also produces additional AB0 /AB0 incremental signals (up to 65,536 PPR, TTL/RS-422 Line Driver signal level) for speed control.
C50 is ideal for motor feedback operations. C50MI and C50MA are better suited for advanced position and speed control of brushless motors. All encoders find perfect use in many and varied industrial automation applications and especially where space is constricted.
