Overview
The AksIM™ 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.
Features
- Resolution to 20 bits
- BiSS, SSI, PWM, USB, SPI and serial RS422
- Overall system thickness only 7 mm
- Integrated status LED
Benefits
- True absolute, single track
- Non contact, no hysteresis
- High speed
- Low profile
- High degree of IP protection
- Custom ASIC based magnetic sensor
- Built-in self-monitoring
- Corrosion resistant magnetic ring
Software notice:
USB drivers For Windows 10 or newer use Windows Update to install “inbox drivers”. More information is on this link. For Windows 8 or older, drivers must be installed manually.
For manual USB drivers setup please download the setup file.
