Posic Sensors

Incremental Encoder

(Posic)

Applications:

Position and Velocity Transducers

Rotary Position Sensors

The PO2300 series encoder kit consists of a sensor element and a PCB-type target. The target is supplied either in the form of a strip for linear applications or a disc/ring for rotational applications.

The sensor-element is a differential transformer structure (similar to an LVDT or a resolver) with the coils integrated on a silicon chip. The electronics to drive the sensor and to treat the sensor signals are integrated in the same chip.The linear target or disk/ring is a PCB with a copper pattern with a period length of 1.2 mm. The copper pattern is covered by a solder-mask, which provides a protection against liquids and against mechanical impact. The PCB-material is easy to “cut to length”. For alternative targets, please contact Applied Measurement Australia.
