Product Description
The MAD130B-0150-SA-S2-BP0-05-N1 has a single-turn absolute encoder with 2048 increments. It is essential in the feedback process that ensure the accurate position of the motors to drive accurate control. A single-turn absolute encoder quantifies the position of the motor shaft within one turn thus assigning a distinctive value to that position. For accurate positioning of the shaft of the motor at any point in its full rotation, the encoder complements the motor's control system by distributing one full rotation into 2048 increments. This high resolution is important and widely used in applications where the pin-point location of the shaft is important, even the slightest shift of the shaft is detected and provides feedback to the operating control system.
The significant feature of an absolute encoder compared to an incremental encoder is that it provides position information. After being powered on, the encoder immediately recognizes the position of the shaft and this will do away with the need to reset the system which improves efficiency in various applications such as robotics, automated production lines and various precision engineering processes. This ability to maintain a stable position along with the 2048 increments of the encoder makes the motor useful where fine and repeatable motion is demanded.
Another major feature of this motor is the flange mounting. In flange mounting, the motor is held in position by a circular flange that is screwed into a flat surface by creating a strong link. The flange provides stable mounting which gives the motor stability and a fixed position. It enables the encoder to ensure proper rotation and enhances the motor's performance. A single-turn absolute encoder with 2048 increments and flange mounting makes the motor ideal for ensuring accuracy and precision in industrial applications.
