The MRP 2000, 5000 and 8000 angle encoder modules contain bearing sets not conventionally available and can to be integrated with various encoder types. The modules merge the key requirements for precision rotary axes used in metrology, calibration devices, automation technology, micro machining and the semiconductor industry. Features include high guideway accuracy combined with high rigidity, a low starting torque and a constant continuous torque. Bearing loads up to 300 N are possible while still maintaining system accuracy. The encoders fulfill the requirements for any motion feedback application. Incremental or absolute encoders can be used as required, with resolutions up to 29 bits.
