Rotational position needs to be detected in many applications, such as mobile machines or food packaging machines. However, many encoders are not suited for rough environmental conditions as typically given in these applications such as dirt, humidity and extreme temperatures and will show early sensor failures. ASM presents posirot® PMIS4/PMIR7, a non-contact, wear-free magnetic incremental encoder solution which was designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and offers a unique simple slide-on shaft assembly.
