Reflective Linear and Rotary Encoders

Imagine what you can do with this!

OEMs can now use encoders for closed loop control where

it was previously not possible or cost effective. Using your

interpolation electronics, engineers can achieve dramatic

improvements in system speed, throughput, and reliability,

while reducing cost, size and weight. The Mercury 1200 series

kit encoders make it all possible. The analog output sensors

can mount directly on your printed circuit board within an EMI

shielded module. The low Z height of the sensor, only 5.6mm,

opens up exciting design possibilities.

OEMs that want to incorporate our interpolation electronics

can contact MicroE for chip set or daughterboard solutions.

The Mercury 1200 encoder is an analog output system. Designed for PC board mounting, it is available with linear or rotary scales.

Mercury’s space-saving, integrated configuration gives OEM system designers a breakthrough in performance.
