An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

POSITAL magnetic kit encoders are easy to incorporate into normal manufacturing processes since they do not require the high-precision, clean-room assembly techniques demanded by optical technologies.

NUMERIK JENA's Kit R rotary optical encoder is ideally suited for those motion feedback applications where installation space is limited. The scanning unit has a very low height profile of only 3 ...
