Flexible development platforms for angle and length measurement systems

The high-resolution EBx7914 sensor module for incremental length or angle measuring systems is available in two basic versions – with and without reference/index sensor – and can be equipped with different AMR-FixPitch sensors (i.e. the sensor is adapted to the pole length of the measuring scale for more linearity). The module has a very high-resolution interpolator and can be parameterised flexibly. The integrated auto-adjustment ensures excellent measurement performance during operation. Typical applications are length measuring systems for intelligent tool clamping systems.

The EBM7921 absolute encoder module is designed for absolute length or angle measuring systems and uses the proven vernier measuring principle. Two TMR-FixPitch sensors enable linear length as well as measurements on the shaft circumference, e.g. for hollow-shaft encoders or motors. The sensor module is particularly suitable for use in encoders for industrial automation.

The platform products benefit from the specific advantages of the magnetoresistive effect such as high accuracy, high resolution, dynamics, freedom from wear and robustness. The new platform products will be available from the 3rd quarter of 2021. More information is available at Sensor + Test 2021 or at www.sensitec.com.
