Absolute modular encoder for motor feedback
ASM36 is the miniature absolute modular encoder designed to be directly integrated
into small AC servo motors and DC brushless motors. It offers high resolutions and
reliable operation at an economical price.
ASM36 is a high resolution singleturn optical absolute
encoder.
It is engineered for direct integration into small AC servo
motors and DC brushless motors.
It can be installed in a variety of drives with different
flange sizes (typically from size 40 to size 80) having a
6-mm/0.24” back shaft and a 20-mm/0.79” flange pilot.
Unlike conventional encoders it comes in a OEM and
ultra compact modular package combining the disk
and the circuit that can be easily assembled by the user.
Thanks to the supplied mounting tool and the automatic
calibration software the assembly process is greatly
simplified, thus reducing the time needed for installation
and alignment to few seconds (the measuring
system is supplied pre-calibrated).
The electrical interface can be either SSI or BiSS C-mode
with a resolution up to 21 bits (2097152 cpr).
Zero setting/preset and counting direction input functions
along with protection against reverse polarity
and short-circuit add plus benefits.
Furthermore the use of selected components enables
high accuracy rates and an operating temperature range
from -40°C to +100°C (-40°F to +212°F).
ASM36 is the ideal solution for mass production at low
cost in motors for applications such as:
• robots
• XY tables
• chip mounters
• sewing machines
• food processing machines
• conveyors and other material handling systems
