US Digital (VANCOUVER, WA) introduced two new miniature absolute encoders: the MAE4 and the MA4. The MAE4 is a kit-style encoder designed for direct shaft mounting, while the MA4 is a shafted version.
The MAE4 and MA4 provide 12-bit absolute position feedback for motion control applications, with analog or PWM output options.
Features & Benefits:
-
MAE4 features a push-on magnetic hub for fast installation
-
Supports seven shaft diameters: 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 0.125", 0.188", 0.250"
-
Supports two shaft lengths: 0.220”, 0.500”
-
Mounts to bolt circles of 0.750", 1.280", and 1.812"
-
Compact design allows integration in space-limited applications
-
MA4 is constructed from glass-filled polymer for increased durability
-
MA4 shaft torque provides tactile feedback similar to a potentiometer
-
Both encoders offer enhanced vibration and shock resistance
-
Equipped with a latching connector for secure installation
-
Suitable for industrial, medical, and motion control applications
Suitable for use in industrial and medical environments where robust construction and sterilization compatibility are required.
