The encoder technology offers durability, compact design, and precise motion tracking for smaller motor shafts, suitable for robotics and automation.
CUI Devices’ Motion and Control Group have introduced a new addition to its AMT incremental encoder family designed to accommodate smaller motor shaft sizes ranging from 1 mm to 6.35 mm (1/4 inch). Known as the AMT12 series, this encoder utilizes CUI Devices’ proprietary capacitive ASIC technology to deliver exceptional durability, accuracy, and resistance to environmental particulates, all within a compact 22.2 x 22.2 x 12.8 mm package.
The series is favored by robotics engineers for its compact size, durability, and accurate positional sensing. Industrial automation professionals rely on its precise motion control capabilities, while OEM manufacturers benefit from its customizable resolution settings and robust environmental specifications. Design engineers utilize the series to enhance motor designs with reliable encoder feedback, and maintenance engineers find it essential for maintaining machinery accuracy. Technicians appreciate its easy installation and configurable settings, and research teams use it for experimental setups requiring precise motion tracking. System integrators value its compatibility and reliability in challenging environments.
Featuring 16 programmable resolutions from 96 to 4096 PPR and drawing just 16 mA at 5 V, the AMT12 encoder is suited for robotics, industrial, and automation applications. It offers versatility with options for radial or axial orientations, operates across a wide temperature range from -40 to +125°C, and provides single-ended quadrature A/B output channels. The encoder’s digital design and compatibility with CUI Devices’ AMT Viewpoint software allow for easy customization of resolution settings and zero position configuration.
Some of the key features of the AMT12 series include:
- Input Voltage (Vdc): 4.5 ~ 5.5
- Operating Temp. (°C): -40 ~ 125
- Speed, Max. (RPM): 4000, 8000
Additionally, the kit enhances user flexibility with support for 8 different sleeve bore sizes ranging from 1 mm to 6 mm, complemented by straightforward mounting tools that simplify installation onto motors.
