The R-Series synchronous serial encoder interface position sensor is a magnetostrictive position unit that combines design and manufacturing enhancements. The R-Series includes options for synchronized 7,500 kHz update rates and position accuracy as low as 2 microns. Proprietary synchronization technology is designed to provide accurate position output while minimizing inherent system-related delays to produce smooth, precise velocity loop control. An internal measurement error-checking routine ensures high immunity to shock and vibration (up to 15 grms / 10-2,000 Hz and 100 g peak, respectively). With its double-shielded design, the R-Series also includes a high EMC immunity level. Like all R-Series model products, the interface output comes standard with an IP67 housing, as well as ATEX-approved explosion-proof and NEMA 4X optional housings.
