Press Release Summary:
Absolute encoders include 20 and 58 mm dia sizes, and generate 8 and 10 bit binary code output signals, respectively. Smaller size incorporates conductive composite housing, which provides EMI shielding and protection for assembly. Larger size, intended for industrial usage, incorporates larger radial bearings and 10mm OD input shaft for increased external load capacities. Both encoders satisfy moderate to high-end accuracy requirements.Original Press Release:
New Absolute Optical Encoders Introduced By Thomson Micron
Ronkonkoma, NY - Thomson Micron* -- a leader in integrated feedback solutions - announces a new line of high performance, low-cost absolute optical encoders, that satisfy moderate to high-end accuracy requirements. The encoders feature high resolution and low inertia. When compared to competitive models, the new Thomson Micron absolute encoders offer users lower current consumption, which translates into lower operating costs.
The absolute encoders include 20 and 58mm diameter sizes and generate 8- and 10-bit binary code output signals, respectively. The smaller size is designed to maximize the compact and lightweight nature of the product. It incorporates a unique, conductive composite housing, which provides EMI shielding and protection for the assembly. The larger size is also a compact design, but is intended more for industrial usage. It incorporates larger radial bearings and a larger input shaft (10mm OD), which increase mechanical life and extemal load capacities.
The new Thomson Micron components enable quick installation through an optimized mounting arrangement. Solid shaft outputs offer the ability to servo mount using synchro-type clamps. Absolute encoders come standard with a cable and connector.
Thomson Micron optical encoders are ideal for applications such as pick-and-place robots, inspection equipment, indexing/positioning devices, coiling/winding applications, paper conversion equipment, and gantry or elevator axes.
Pricing ranges from: $450 to $485 (1-9 pcs) and $279 to $300 (100-249 pcs).
