New Absolute Encoders Have Fewer Parts for Enhanced Operation & Reliability



DAYTON, OH -Stegmann Inc. introduces the CoreTech CA25 Absolute Encoder. These 2.5" absolute encoders are available in any resolution from 2 to 32,768 ppr. They feature an electronic zero position set and parallel or SSI absolute output. CA25 absolute encoders ship in just 2-3 days without any price adder.

These unique absolute encoders have fewer electronic components than comparable encoders, as well as built-in monitoring functionality, for optimum system operation and reliability. They feature a differential sensing principle for the highest signal quality and noise immunity available today. They are repeatable to 0.005 degrees and provide maximum operating speeds of up to 10,000 rpm. They are designed to handle radial or axial loads of up to 40 lbs. (90 N), and can operate in temperatures from -4 to 185°F (-20 to 85°C).

The new CoreTech® concept uses a minimum number of very sophisticated components to achieve maximum variety: A proprietary hybrid OPTO-ASIC and a small, unique code disk. In contrast to conventional encoders with a continuous repetition of opaque and transparent fields on the code disk, CoreTech® reads the information from one circular barcode track. A second analog sine/cosine track supplies additional data which, when synchronized with the data from the barcode track, results in high resolution and accuracy. Both tracks are read simultaneously by a sophisticated sensor array on the hard-wired OPTO-ASIC.

Stegmann is a wholly owned subsidiary of SICK AG in Waldkirch, Germany. Stegmann is a world leader in the design and manufacture of incremental, absolute and linear encoders, as well as motor feedback systems.
