DuraCoder : Rotary Shaft Encoders : Features
The AMCI DuraCoder is a rotary shaft encoder engineered
to save customers time and money. Utilizing an innovative
resolver-based design, this optical encoder replacement delivers
reliable position feedback.
Several features set this family of rotary encoders
apart from the competition; namely, its cost saving durability,
field programmability, and wide range of applications.
AMCI DuraCoder has earned a "bulletproof" reputation
among established machine builders and successful system integrators.
Here are some of the reasons why experts accept no subsititutes
when it comes to DuraCoder - the world's toughest industrial
grade 2.5" rotary shaft encoders.
Traditionally, resolvers have offered the highest reliability
in the industrial sector. However, until now their durability
has come with a relatively high cost per unit.
At a much lower price, optical rotary encoders have proven
a more economical solution for many applications. But the
relative fragility of their constructions typically leads
to the need for frequent replacement.
The AMCI DuraCoder represents a technological advance that
gives you a new and optimum choice. The DuraCoder combines
the durability of a resolver at optical rotary encoder pricing,
bringing you the finest industrial encoder on the market today.
Resolver-based Reliability back
to top ^
Featuring an integrated NEMA 4 housing, the AMCI DuraCoder
utilizes a brushless resolver sensor. Absolute over a single
turn, the resolver was originally developed for military applications
and has benefited from more than 50 years of continuous use
and development. what
is a resolver? »
AMCI recognized the benefits of the resolver, designed to
withstand the punishment of a military application, and incorporated
this rotary position sensor into the DuraCoder's design. Through
superior engineering, AMCI has combined the time tested reliability
of a resolver with advanced electronics, enabling accurate
rotary position feedback in virtually any application. No
matter how hot, humid, dusty, oily, or mechanically demanding
the environment, DuraCoder is ready.
Field Programmable Output Resolution back

The Incremental and Digital version of DuraCoder can be
field-programmed for any output resolution required in today's
industrial environment. This breakthrough product reduces
stocking inventory for machines builders by enabling them
to utilize one programmable DuraCoder for all of the
rotary encoder needs.
Instead of purchasing several different rotary encoders dependent
on application requirements, system integrators can now stock
one DuraCoder and field program the output resolution
on the fly.
Ordering is simplified, stocking and lead time hassles are
eliminated, and the DuraCoder's flexibility permits swapping
with other machines and applications, irrespective of their
configuration requirements.
Wide Range of Applications more
info »
AMCI's DuraCoder is a field programmable rotary shaft encoder,
possessing unbelievable flexibility. Its primary function
is to convert rotary motion into useful information. The core
parameters determined are speed, rate, velocity, distance,
position, or direction. A typical application will
use one or more of these parameters as feedback to the controller
in a motion control system. |
