Feeling the pulse of the motor.
Precise encoders, DC tachometers and high-resolution resolvers. For maxon DC and EC drives.
Encoders, DC tachometers and resolvers allow accurate evaluation of the speed and angle position and form the framework for high-precision control loops. These devices have to be fitted to the motors at the supplying factory, as the installation process is fine-tuned to the respective motor.
Digital encoder
- Suitable for positioning tasks
- Rotation direction recognition
- Speed information from number of pulses per time unit
- The standard solution for many applications
DC tachometer
- Not suited for positioning tasks
- Analog speed signal
- Rotation direction recognition
Resolver
- Analog rotor position
- Analog speed signal
- For special solutions in conjunction with sinusoidal commutation in EC motors
