Robust Angular Position Measurement for Extreme Environments
Zettlex IncOders are non-contact devices for precision angle
measurement. They work like a transformer, using an inductive
technique. IncOders may be considered as an inductive angle
encoder.
IncOders are ideally suited to harsh environments – where
potentiometers, optical or capacitive devices may prove unreliable.
High-reliability Inductive Angle Encoder Technology
IncOders have 2 main parts – a Stator and a Rotor – each shaped
like a flat ring. The large bore makes it easy to accommodate
through-shafts, slip-rings, optical-fibres, pipes or cables.
The Stator is powered and the Rotor is passive. The Stator contains
the electronics to receive power and generate an output signal. The
output signal from the Stator shows the true absolute angular
position of the Rotor relative to the Stator without the need of
any motion.
imple Installation: ‘Fit and Forget’ Technology
IncOder inductive angle encoders do not require compliant or
special couplings and the Rotor & Stator can simply be screwed to
the host product. Precise mechanical mounting is not required and
there are no bearings.
Whereas optical or capacitive angle encoders can be unreliable in
harsh conditions – notably with condensation or dust – Zettlex
angle encoders are generally unaffected by foreign matter and IP67
rated versions are available. Unlike capacitive devices, there is
no need to earth the Rotor or Stator. Robust, hard-anodized
aluminium alloy housings and monolithic constructions are used
throughout.
There are no contacting, delicate or wearing parts, so there is no
need for periodic replacement, service or maintenance. In other
words, IncOder angle encoders are true ‘fit and forget’ devices.
