Compact, Lightweight, Inductive Ring Encoders

Discover the IncOder™ CORE

IncOder™ CORE is a robust miniature PCB-based inductive ring encoder designed specifically for robotic joints. Its advanced design offers several benefits that make it an ideal choice for various applications.

Key Features of IncOder™ CORE

Lightweight and Non-Contact Design

IncOder CORE is a non-contact, lightweight absolute rotary inductive encoder, fully contained in a printed circuit board kit. The low-profile hollow bore design makes it perfect for integration into rotary actuators. This encoder utilizes a unique, field-proven inductive technique, delivering highly repeatable, reliable, and temperature-stable measurement performance.

Easy Installation

The angle sensor can be easily installed by mounting the rotor and stator pair into the host assembly using M2 mounting holes. With modest installation tolerances, a programmable zero set, and no calibration required, the sensor can be screwed (and optionally doweled) in place for quick, practical, and reliable setup.

Advanced Electronics

Each sensor includes a passive rotor target, paired with an active stator. The stator contains all the required processing electronics in a lightweight, stacked circuit board package. Featuring a 10-way Molex PicoClasp connector for power input and data outputs, IncOder CORE can be supplied with an axial or radial connector. It can be configured to output up to 20-bits of absolute position data in a range of protocol options, including SPI, BiSS-C, and SSI.

Benefits of IncOder™ CORE

Reduced System Weight and Design Envelope

The compact and lightweight PCB construction minimizes the system weight and design envelope, optimizing it for use in rotary actuators.

Simple and Efficient Installation

With no precision installation tolerances and no calibration required, IncOder CORE ensures simple and efficient installation, reducing OEM production time and cost.

Reliable Feedback in Demanding Applications

IncOder CORE provides highly repeatable position feedback and is insensitive to contamination, making it reliable for demanding applications.
