Kit encoder with incremental or PWM output

The Hall effect encoder kit from MEGATRON’s MKI series offers a resolution of 1 to 8,192 pulses per revolution (12 bits with PWM) and can be easily fitted in even the tightest spaces. Its compact design and low power consumption make this single-turn encoder the ideal angle sensor for autonomous systems. Since the rotary encoder has no bearings, it has an unlimited mechanical service life.

The MKI series kit encoder from MEGATRON gives engineers extreme flexibility in their design work. This rotary encoder has a housing diameter of just 14.8mm and a depth of only 21.4mm, making it suitable for shafts with diameters ranging from 3mm to 6.35mm. Other features include a wide input voltage range of up to 16.5V and low current consumption of 17mA (without load). Additionally, the rotary encoder utilises the application’s shaft, making it mechanically wear-free and maintenance-free. This is particularly advantageous for mobile applications or those involving high speeds, where sleeve or ball bearings cannot be used or would quickly wear out.

The MKI consists of a sensor housing and a mounting ring, as well as a slip-on magnet that matches the shaft. It has an incremental output and can also be supplied with a PWM signal. Thanks to the integrated Molex plug connection, the signal cable can easily be connected to the evaluation unit during installation or disconnected from the application during maintenance work.
