Compact Magnetic Encoder Withstands Harsh Environments

The M15 modular magnetic encoder from Timken is built to perform in dirty environments and will not fail due to debris interference. Applications include stepper-motor positioning and anti-stall feedback, DC brush-type motor positioning, and brushless DC and servo motor control. The unit’s core operating module is the MPS 160 encoder application-specific integrated circuit. Featuring a low profile of 17 mm (0.68 in.), this compact encoder is 41 mm (1.6 in.) in diameter and uses industry-standard mounting patterns of 32.5 mm or 46 mm (1.28 in. or 1.81 in.). It fits numerous shaft sizes, making it a convenient, drop-in replacement for more complex optical designs.
