Characterised by high accuracy in a small installation space, the encoder will benefit a variety of precision applications including medical technology, optics and semiconductor production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a diameter of just eight mm, the new three-channel IEP3 incremental encoder offers accurate positioning information from a compact space. Resolutions of up to 10,000 lines per revolution are possible for extremely precise measurement. Furthermore, customer-specific resolutions are freely programmable, enabling a customised solution for any application. Based on a 2-pole sensor magnet design, the IEP3 offers simplistic construction for a robust encoder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chip technology within the IEP3 ensures a high positional accuracy of 0.3 mechanical degrees (\u00b0m). To ensure high repeatability of measurements, the chip also features error compensation algorithms. This error compensation ensures that all values reported by the encoder fall within 0.05 \u00b0m of the actual position.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of operational requirements, the IEP3 can be powered with supply voltages of 5V and 3.3V, making it suitable for battery-powered applications. A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +125\u00b0C means it can be safely used in a variety of industrial environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With three output channels, the IEP3 offers accurate measurement and control of shaft velocity, rotational direction and positioning. And its modular design \u2014 already pre-established with the IE3 encoder series \u2014 means it can be combined seamlessly with other FAULHABER products, for an extremely compact drive system solution. The IEP3-4096 model, for example, has a length of just 9.1 mm. Combination with the 1024&#8230; SR brushless DC motor creates a drive system with a total of length of just 33.3mm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sole UK &amp; Ireland supplier of FAULHABER drive systems, Electro Mechanical Systems (EMS), has expanded its product range with the new IEP3 incremental encoder series from FAULHABER.
