GMI-ROT Series - Absolute Rotary Encoder
User Manual
2. Description and proper use
2.1 Description of the
ENCODER
GMI ROTARY ENCODERS from FLUX GmbH offers motor feedback solutions for a wide
range of applications, fitting optimally in designs that require precise positioning with
exacting velocity and torque control.
The position sensor technology (Giant Magnetic Impedance) and encoder architecture,
developed and manufactured by FLUX, are the result of 40+ years experience in encoder
development and manufacturing.
It addresses in a purposeful and compact manner motion control feedback design
requirements calling for:
●
Precise position feedback;
●
Hollow shaft implementation;
●
High positioning accuracy;
●
High position stability / low noise;
●
Zero backlash / hysteresis;
●
Insensitivity to external electrical noise;
●
Insensitivity to environmental pollution (IP67);
●
Low signal latency.
GMI ROTARY ENCODERS are the ideal choice for a wide range of applications including:
●
machine tools;
●
semiconductor manufacturing;
●
cobots and robots;
●
satcomm;
●
medical;
●
gimbals;
●
motors (torque, direct drive, servo, dc brushless);
●
automated guided vehicles (AGV).
The following are the main technical characteristics of the GMI ROTARY ENCODERS
covered by this Instruction manual. More details on this, dimensions and tolerances are
shown in the dedicated technical data sheet attached to this document or on the website
The ‘GIM-ROT’ series of rotary encoders incorporates the FLUX patented GMI (Giant
Magneto Impedance) position sensor to deliver high performance feedback as part of a
closed loop motion control system.
