New VLM-60 multi-turn encoder from Netzer Precision

February 29, 2024 By Motion Control Tips Editor Leave a Comment

Netzer has introduced the new VLM-60 multi-turn, hollow-shaft absolute rotary encoder, the ideal solution for smooth and continuous production with limited space.

The VLM-60 multi-turn encoder from Netzer is an extremely low profile, hollow-shaft absolute rotary encoder. Often used in multi-axis machinery, servo motors machine tools or robots, and process machine manufacturing, the VLM-60 ensures the accuracy and reliability demanded by these applications.

A 17-bit single-plus-15-bit multi-turn resolution ensures smooth and continuous production since the master reads the multi-turn positions from the encoder both at start-up and throughout the operation. In case of a power outage or a machine shutdown, the VLM-60 maintains the multi-turn absolute position by using an internal battery or an external power source.

Features include:

  • 17 bit single + 15-bit multi-turn resolution
  • Low profile (< 8 mm)
  • High resolution and precision
  • Hollow shaft
  • Adaptable resolution
  • Resistant to harsh environmental conditions
  • Magnetic fields immunity
