FAULHABER debuts integrated encoder for flat motors

The BXT motor family from FAULHABER, comprising brushless dc motors with especially short design, was expanded with the diameter-complaint IEF3-4096 magnetic encoder. With just 6.2 mm of additional length, the motor/encoder units also remain extremely short. In addition, the encoder is fully integrated in the robust motorhousing. In this flat design, the IEF3-4096 offers three channels with index function and a high resolution of up to 4,096 lines per revolution. A variant with line driver is available with the IEF3-4096 L. The encoder can be combined with the 2214…BXT H, 3216…BXT H and 4221…BXT H housed BXT motors.

The combination of the BXT motors with the IEF3-4096 encoder is the ideal solution for precisely positioning in a constrained space where high torque is also required. Typical applications include robotics, medical technology, laboratory automation and industrial automation. The encoder is connected with a ribbon cable and suitable connectors are also available.
