Encoders for BLDC motors and stepper motors

The 3-channel encoders from Nanotec are easy to mount and offer long-term reliability as well as high measurement accuracy combined with compact dimensions. They have high resolutions, are resistant to vibration acceleration and suitable for a wide temperature range. By comparing the demand/actual position they make it possible to run the motor in closed-loop mode and at the same time prevent mechanical overload or blocking.

Please note:
An encoder with machine-friendly IP54 design is already integrated in the stepper and BLDC motors with increased protection class. They can also be used in harsh environmental conditions, and enable interference-free, fast and fault-free wiring.

Encoders for BLDC motors and stepper motors – Types

Optical encoders

Optical encoders are used for the precise speed and position monitoring of moving loads. They are insensitive to dust and dirt and can be easily integrated into customized systems.
