AksIM-2™

Off-Axis Rotary Absolute Magnetic Encoder Module

AksIM-2™ is a non-contact high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder designed for applications with limited installation space. The compact, low profile readhead detects and evaluates the magnetic field of a thin, axially magnetized ring.

AksIM-2 is a non-contact high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder designed for integration into space-constrained applications. AksIM's self-calibration feature allows compensation of the ring's eccentricity error after encoder installation and improves system accuracy up to 5 times. A hollow ring, true absolute functionality and high speed operation make this encoder suitable for many applications.


The AksIM-2 encoder system consists of an axially magnetised ring and a readhead.


The encoders come with SSI, BiSS and asynchronous serial communication interfaces and offer a range of binary resolutions to 20 bits per revolution.


The encoder operates from -30  °C to +85 °C or -40 °C to +105 °C with extended temperature range option and is resistant to shock and vibrations.


The AksIM-2 encoder has a built-in advanced self-monitoring function, continually checking several internal parameters. Error reporting, warnings and other status signals are available on all communication interfaces and are visualised with the on-board LED.


The AksIM-2 encoder system is suitable for use in industrial and medical applications.
A typical application is a robotic arm joint with a cable feed running through the ring or a precision gearbox where the ring is attached onto the main transmission shaft.
Custom design service for OEM integration is also available.
