New encoder option for brushless DC electric motor platform

Portescap is introducing the M-Sense22, a magnetic encoder option suited to its brushless DC motor platform. The new encoder pairs well with Portescap’s brushless slotless motors ranging from 22mm to 40mm in diameter and features an integrated RS422 line driver, delivers an accuracy up to 1.5 degrees, and offers a wide resolution range up to 1024 lines. The MSense-22 is also able to easily provide both incremental and absolute feedback, even at high input speeds up to 200,000 RPM, due to using the latest in chip technology. 

This encoder is a suitable choice for applications requiring high-precision positioning feedback and a wide range of resolution capabilities, especially those within the aerospace and defence, industrial power tools, robotics and life sciences markets.
