Compact 3-channel encoder series

Clearwater, Florida – The new IEH3-4096 series from Faulhaber is a compact 3-channel encoder. The new model delivers two square-wave signals as well as an additional index channel. It offers a higher resolution, an extended operating temperature range, and improved speed control, especially in the low speed range. The encoder increases the length of the motor by just 1.4mm and can be combined with numerous precious-metal commutated DC-micromotors of the Faulhaber SR series measuring 15mm to 22mm in diameter. Since they are used in extremely small machines and assemblies, size is a decisive factor.

 

Thanks to the thermally robust single-chip Hall module used in the IEH3-4096, it was possible to extend the operating temperature range to -40°C to 100°C. The resolution of up to 4096 pulses per revolution results in improved control dynamics. Other pulse counts are also available. Despite numerous technical developments, the IEH3-4096 remains mechanically compatible with its predecessor models. 

 

The IEH3-4096 integrated encoder can be used in application areas including: measurement devices, valve adjustment, camera technology, mirror positioning, or lens or filter adjustment. These application areas are characterized by sophisticated engineering in which the individual components cannot occupy much space. The IEH3-4096 integrated encoder satisfies these requirements.
