BEI Kimco Magnetics Introduces High Precision Integrated Motor Encoder Assembly

Designed for Extremely Fine Positioning

VISTA, Calif, - June 5, 2008 - BEI Kimco Magnetics, a company of Custom Sensors & Technologies (CST), Inc., has expanded its motion control capabilities with the introduction of a high precision Integrated Motor Encoder Assembly. Featuring a large diameter clear aperture with integral high resolution encoder, it is ideally suited for high performance specialty machine applications where high acceleration point-to-point motion is required.

The new assembly incorporates ABEC7 class precision ball bearings, providing exceptional reliability and long service life. Other performance attributes include a tightly toleranced hollow shaft configuration that offers superior repeatability and wobble characteristics essential for optical applications requiring a large diameter clear aperture. The high resolution optical encoder supports resolutions of up to 0.02 arc-sec. and the hall based commutation scheme allows for seamless connectivity with a variety of standard motion controllers.

The new offering was designed in response to market demand for a compact, high accuracy integrated motor encoder solution that could deliver superior positioning accuracy and repeatability under the most demanding continuous-duty production environments.

"Our customers have typically turned to us for products used in high velocity-based applications" says Walter Smith, BEI Kimco Magnetics Senior Applications Engineer. "With the introduction of the new motor/encoder assembly, we can now fulfill requirements for more specialized positioning based applications."

BEI Kimco Magnetics new Integrated Motor Encoder Assembly is available now with delivery in six to eight weeks. For further information contact BEI Kimco Magnetics, 2470 Coral Street, Bldg.
