Magnetic rotary encoders

Magnetic rotary montageRenishaw's range of compact, high-speed RLS™ rotary magnetic encoders are designed for use in harsh environments, such as industrial automation, motor control, metal working, woodworking and packaging. They have been developed together with RLS d.o.o., in which Renishaw holds a 50% share of ownership.

The encoder comprises a magnetic actuator and separate encoder body. Rotation of the actuator is sensed by a custom encoder chip within the body and processed to the required output.

• Non-contact/frictionless and bearing versions available
• Resolutions to 13-bit (8192 positions per revolution)
• Excellent dirt immunity and sealed to IP68
• High speed operation to 30,000 rpm
• Industry standard absolute, analogue, incremental, and linear outputs

Renishaw's range of RLS™ magnetic rotary encoders and magnetic linear encoders are sold and supported through Renishaw's extensive global network. Full technical details can be found at the main RLS website.
