Reducing the additional effort for customised variants and thus enabling a short "time to market" for the user is the focus of the new flexible development platforms for integrated length or angle measuring systems from Sensitec. With the high-resolution incremental encoder module EBx7914 and the nonius absolute encoder module EBM7921, the user receives qualified platform products as a basis for the further development of his optimised, customer-specific solution. The new EBx7914 and EBM7921 platform products are based on a modular concept combining different magnetoresistive length or angle sensors with a high-resolution interpolation ASIC in different arrangements for a wide range of applications (e.g. axial, on-axis or radial, off-axis arrangements etc.).
The high-resolution EBx7914 sensor module for incremental length or angle measuring systems is available in two basic versions - with and without reference/index sensor - and can be equipped with different AMR-FixPitch sensors (i.e. the sensor is adapted to the pole length of the measuring scale for more linearity). The module has a very high-resolution interpolator and can be parameterised flexibly. The integrated auto-adjustment ensures excellent measurement performance during operation. Typical applications are length measuring systems for intelligent tool clamping systems.
The EBM7921 absolute encoder module is designed for absolute length or angle measuring systems and uses the proven vernier measuring principle. Two TMR-FixPitch sensors enable linear length as well as measurements on the shaft circumference, e.g. for hollow-shaft encoders or motors. The sensor module is particularly suitable for use in encoders for industrial automation.
The platform products benefit from the specific advantages of the magnetoresistive effect such as high accuracy, high resolution, dynamics, freedom from wear and robustness. The new platform products will be available from the 3rd quarter of 2021. More information is available at Sensor + Test 2021 or at www.sensitec.com.
