DS-16 Encoder

The DS-16 absolute rotary encoder is known for its technical sophistication and reliability. This lightweight, miniature encoder is characterized by a hollow floating shaft and a bearing-less design, ensuring minimal contact and wear. It stands out for its high precision, with a 16-bit resolution and an accuracy of ±0.020°.

Uniquely tolerant to extreme conditions, the DS-16 resists temperature extremes, shock, EMI, RFI, and magnetic fields, ensuring consistent performance in harsh environments. Its compact dimensions (16 mm OD, 4 mm ID, 8 mm height, and a weight of only 3.1 grams) make it an ideal choice for space-sensitive applications.

The DS-16's robust design includes Ultem™ polymer and TRVX-50 materials, providing durability and reliability. It offers flexible connectivity options, including SSi and BiSS-C communication interfaces and an optional flex cable connector. Its operational capacity reaches up to 4,000 rpm, with customizable rotation direction and optional built-in testing. Additionally, the DS-16 meets EMC standards (IEC 6100-6-2, IEC 6100-6-4), operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and can withstand significant shock and vibration, as per MIL-STD-810G.

This encoder is an excellent choice for precision applications in diverse fields, combining advanced technology with exceptional reliability and adaptability.
