Rotary Magentic (MR) Encoders

In response to customer requests, IEC Industrial Encoder Corporation has designed and produced Magnetic Encoders intended for industrial applications. The IEC Magnetic Encoder is very similar to the IEC Optical Encoders that perform with very high reliability in many varied demanding applications. The only change is that the readingsystem within the encoder detects magnetic pulses rather than optical signals. The mechanical system and the signal processing electronics of the Magnetic Encoder are the same as that used in the Optical Encoders.

To date, customers have preferred prototypes in the IH 103 configuration, but IEC can produce Magnetic Encoders in any standard Optical Encoder mechanical configuration. Some IEC customers prefer Magnetic Encoders in certain harsh applications because of their tolerance to operating in dust, dirt, oil, water, shock, vibration and rigorous temperature cycling environments. Requirements are in factory automation, steel mill, pulp and paper, glass
processing, petroleum processing, transportation, gantry systems, mining, and energy (windmill) generation applications.

Competitive Advantages of IEC's Magnetic and Optical Encoders include:
- Unbreakable Optical or Magnetic Disks
- Machined Mechanical Parts from a Stainless Steel Bar (not cast) for integrity
- Superior Mechanical Assemblies tolerant of misalignments and overloading
- Modern ASIC design with 100% short circuit and reverse voltage protection
- IP66/67 Sealing Available
- 6,000 rpm standard maximum speed with higher speed as an option
- 300,000 Khz. Frequency Response

IEC's products have been proven and used extensively in Robots, Cranes, Forestry, Oil and Gas, Machining, Elevator, Factory Automation, Food Processing, and Energy Production applications. IEC is certified to UL standards and for Explosion Proof requirements.
