FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SIZE 15 MAGNETIC ENCODER RESISTS SHOCK, VIBRATION,
AND COLD
AMCI releases a heavy-duty size 15 magnetic encoder that
resists shock, vibration, and cold temperatures. Available
in either SSI or Analog output versions, AMCI’s ME15
series encoders are designed for budget-minded applications
that require superior reliability.
Terryville, CT November, 03 2008 - AMCI (Advanced Micro
Controls Inc.) has released a size 15 rotary shaft encoder
capable of withstanding shock, vibration, and cold temperatures.
Based on a magnetic design, AMCI's ME15 rotary shaft encoder
is available in either SSI
or Analog
output versions. Designed for cost sensitive applications
that require bullet-proof reliability, the ME15 magnetic encoder
measures just less than 1.5" in diameter and is engineered
for heavy-duty operation across a variety of industries. The
encoder's IP67 rating protects against dust and moisture,
and the sensor's compact design only relies on two components,
ensuring trouble free operation. Plus, AMCI’s ME15 encoder
boasts an operating and storage temperature range of -40ºC
to 85ºC, capable of withstanding various environmental
conditions. “AMCI’s ME15 series encoder is perfectly
suited for use on construction machinery, gantry cranes, filling
plants, utility vehicles, and any industrial application classified
as heavy-duty” explained Matt Tellier, AMCI Application
Engineer.
AMCI's ME15 series encoders utilize a small diametrically
polarized magnet and a custom ASIC that contains an array
of Hall sensors that generate a voltage when exposed to a
magnetic field. The ASIC detects the change in magnetic flux
distribution as the magnet rotates above it and outputs a
voltage level that represents the angular position. The ASIC
also has the ability to ignore any interfering magnetic fields,
allowing the ME15 to operate in areas of high external fields.
“Countless hours of product research, customer feedback,
and field experience are built into every encoder product
we design, manufacture and sell. Our ME15 series encoder look
impressive on paper, but it’s in real world applications
where this robust product really shines!” commented
David Johnston, AMCI Sales representative.
The ME15’s small size, high reliability, IP67
protection rating and low cost makes it an ideal replacement
for potentiometers and small industrial encoders. A sturdy
machined housing and a high resistance to shock and vibration
make these encoders ideal fit and capable withstanding difficult
environmental conditions, including electromagnetic interference
(EMI) noise generated by neighboring currents.
