FLUX encoders come in a variety of sizes to suit different applications, from compact miniature encoders for space-constrained environments to larger industrial encoders designed for high-torque applications.

Encoder resolution defines the smallest measurable movement an encoder can detect and is typically expressed as counts per revolution (CPR), pulses per revolution (PPR), or bits for absolute encoders. Higher resolution enables finer position detection but does not necessarily improve accuracy, which depends on mechanical tolerances and sensor quality.

Encoder accuracy refers to how closely the measured position corresponds to the true position of the rotating shaft. It is influenced by mechanical tolerances, sensor quality, signal processing, and alignment errors. Accuracy is typically expressed in arcseconds, degrees or radians and determines the overall precision of the system.

In practical applications, accuracy is critical for precision positioning, while resolution is important for smooth motion control and fine adjustments. For example, an encoder with high resolution but low accuracy may detect very small changes but introduce errors due to mechanical tolerances or signal distortion. Conversely, an encoder with high accuracy but low resolution may provide highly reliable position data but with fewer discrete steps.

FLUX Angle Encoders achieve a rotational accuracy of ±4 arcseconds, ensuring precise positioning in applications such as machine tools, robotic systems, and stabilization platforms. Their real-time feedback eliminates delays, making them ideal for high-speed automation.

FLUX encoders offer resolutions up to 25-bit for absolute encoders, providing extremely fine measurement steps. Unlike traditional systems, FLUX encoders maintain high resolution even in harsh environments, ensuring stable, high-quality position data.

Speed control ensures that an encoder maintains a consistent rotational speed regardless of load variations. Position control, on the other hand, ensures precise movement to a specific point.

360° scanning delivers real time position feedback that is free of jitter to enable optimal machine performance within the motion control system.

FLUX encoders support a wide range of industry-standard communication protocols, including SSI, BiSS-C, SPI, and others. The right interface depends on your system requirements and integration needs.

FLUX encoders offer multiple cable output options, including radial and axial cable exits, as well as connectorized versions for easy integration. Standard cable lengths are available, and custom cable configurations can be provided upon request.

FLUX encoders are built for extreme conditions and can operate in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, depending on the model. Many models feature IP67 protection ratings, making them resistant to dust, humidity, and water exposure. They are also designed to withstand high levels of vibration and shock, ensuring durability in demanding environments.

Yes, FLUX encoders are designed for extreme temperature environments. Standard models operate between -40°C to +85°C, while extended versions can function from -40°C to +125°C, with some models capable of withstanding storage temperatures as low as -55°C. This makes them ideal for aerospace, industrial automation, and harsh environmental applications where temperature stability is critical.

FLUX encoders are available with both aluminum and steel housings, each offering distinct advantages. Aluminum housings are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and provide efficient heat dissipation, making them ideal for high-speed applications and environments where weight reduction is critical. Steel housings, on the other hand, offer superior mechanical strength and durability, making them better suited for harsh industrial conditions where impact resistance is required. The choice between aluminum and steel depends on the specific environmental and mechanical demands of the application.

FLUX encoders are specifically engineered for applications with high vibrations and mechanical shocks. Their bearingless design eliminates mechanical wear, making them ideal for gyro-stabilized platforms (gimbals), industrial test benches, and aerospace applications.

FLUX encoders are subjected to extensive testing to guarantee long-term performance. This includes thermal cycling tests to simulate extreme temperature fluctuations, vibration and shock tests to ensure mechanical stability, and humidity and corrosion tests to evaluate resistance to moisture and harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, outgassing tests are performed for applications in aerospace and vacuum environments where material emissions must be minimized.

Large mounting tolerances enable quick, precise installation without time-consuming calibration. Their compact form and flexible configurations allow easy integration into new and existing systems.
