Rotary encoder with CAN bus and energy harvesting

The signal processing of the HTx36E encoders takes place digitally with maximum precision and is based on magnetic, gradient-based measurement value recording. As a result, the sensor system is largely immune to electromagnetic influences and temperature fluctuations. As absolute value encoders, the encoders offer up to 16 bit singleturn resolution and 43 bit multiturn resolution. With the incremental encoder version, the customer can set the step size of the increments from 1 to 16384 pulses / rev at the factory and optionally set the index pulse to the desired position.

The digital communication interfaces CANopen, SAE J1939 and SSI ensure the transmission of the measured values. In the version with battery and gearless energy harvesting technology, the encoders record the number of revolutions even when the power is off.
