New design for magnetic absolute rotary encoders

Servotronix sensAR is the new magnetic absolute rotary encoder developed by Servotronix. It achieves the high resolution and accuracy of optical absolute encoders in a more compact, robust, and durable product. The encoder’s strength stems from a nonperiodic pattern and a patented method of signal evaluation to generate Gray code and high-resolution absolute positions from one circular track.
