Same Sky's absolute encoders output 12 bits or 14 bits of absolute position information with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), RS-485, or Synchronous Serial Interface (SSI) communication. Based on proprietary capacitive technology, these absolute rotary encoders are not susceptible to environmental contaminants that typically plague encoders in industrial applications. The capacitive encoder models further offer users compact packages, current draw as low as 8 mA at 5 V, and operating temperature ranges from -40 to +125°C. Same Sky's AMT absolute modular encoders are also available as kits that support 9 different shaft sizes from 2 mm to 8 mm with simple mounting tools designed for easy installation. Combined with radial or axial cable connections and high accuracy of ±0.2 mechanical degrees, these absolute encoders are a highly flexible and durable solution for a variety of motion control applications.
