Motor feedback systems rotary HIPERFACE DSL®
EKS/EKM36

Compact motor feedback system for highly dynamic servo drives

Your Benefits

  • Saving all analog components on the controller part due to exclusively digital data transmission
  • Enormous cost saving as the separate encoder cable is longer necessary, data transmitted synchronously to the controller cycle
  • Minimal cabling thanks to integration of the encoder communication into the motor cable
  • Optimization of the controller circuit via automated synchronization with the controller cycle

Overview

Compact motor feedback system for highly dynamic servo drives

From a mechanical point of view, the EKS/EKM36 motor feedback system is based on the proven 36 mm design. This design is both compact and rugged, and has been proven many times over in a wide range of applications and surroundings. In combination with an absolute location indicator system with a resolution of up to 20 Bits per revolution and a maximum of 4,096 revolutions, this design is unique in its class.
