AksIM™

Not recommended for new design. Please go to AksIM-2™ off-axis rotary absolute encoder.

 

AksIM™ is a non-contact high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder designed for integration into space-constrained applications. A hollow ring, true absolute functionality and high speed operation make this encoder suitable for many applications.

 

The AksIM™ board level encoder is specifically designed for integration into applications where there is no space for the classic AksIM™ readhead with T-shaped housing. An external case (provided by the customer) must serve as environmental protection of the encoder.

 

The board level encoder system consists of an axially magnetised ring and a readhead board.
The 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 digital interfaces and are visualised with the on-board LED.

 

The 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 readhead board design service for OEM integration is also available.
