TUALATIN, Ore. — September 10, 2019 — CUI’s Motion Group (https://www.cui.com/catalog/motion) today announced the addition of a new series to its innovative AMT incremental encoder family (https://www.cui.com/catalog/motion/rotary-encoders/incremental/modulardesigned to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). The AMT13 series (https://www.cui.com/product/motion/rotary-encoders/incremental/modular/amt13-series), based on CUI’s proprietary capacitive ASIC technology, brings the same high levels of durability, accuracy, and immunity to environmental particulates as current AMT encoder models. Ideally suited for a variety of robotics, industrial, and automation applications, the series offers 22 programmable resolutions from 48 to 4096 PPR, CMOS voltage or differential line driver outputs, and low current consumption of 16 mA at 5 V.
Available in radial or axial orientations, the AMT13 incremental encoder is housed in a compact 42.3 x 42.3 x 13.5 mm package and carries a wide -40 to +125°C operating temperature range. Its digital nature and compatibility with CUI’s AMT Viewpoint™ software (https://www.cui.com/amt-viewpoint) makes the AMT13 encoder highly customizable with the ability to easily configure the resolution and set the zero position.
The AMT13-V kit (https://www.cui.com/product/motion/rotary-encoders/incremental/modular/amt13-v-kit) affords users further flexibility in their design with the inclusion of 9 different sleeve bore options from 9 mm to 5/8 in and simple mounting tools to assist in the easy installation process onto a motor.
The AMT13 series is available immediately with prices starting at $29.49 per unit at 50 pieces through distribution. Please contact CUI (https://www.cui.com/contact) for OEM pricing.
