The MKI series Hall effect rotary encoder from Megatron offers a resolution of 1 to 8192 pulses/revolution (12 bits for PWM) and fits easily into even the smallest mounting spaces. The compact design and low power consumption make the single-turn encoder the ideal angle sensor for autonomous systems. Since the rotary encoder has no bearings, its mechanical life is unlimited.
Megatron MKI rotary encoder – key features
With Megatron's MKI series encoder, engineers gain enormous flexibility in structural design. The rotary encoder has a housing diameter of just 14.8 mm, a housing depth of 21.4 mm and is suitable for shaft diameters from 3 mm to 6.35 mm. Other features of the encoder are a wide input voltage range up to max. 16.5 V and low current consumption of 17 mA (without load). In addition, the rotary encoder uses the shaft of the device used, so it is not subject to mechanical wear and does not require maintenance. This is particularly advantageous in mobile or high-speed applications where plain or ball bearings cannot be used or where they wear out quickly.
MKI rotary encoder – installation and connection Molex
MKI consists of a sensor housing, a mounting ring and a suitable magnet attached to the shaft. It has an incremental output and is optionally available with a PWM signal. Thanks to the integrated Molex connector, the signal cable can be easily connected to the analysis unit during installation or disconnected from the application during maintenance work.
