The ENX Easy is a sterilizable encoder for use with Maxon Motor’s brushless dc motors. It is available in incremental (1,024 counts) and absolute versions (4,096 steps), both designed for 1,000 autoclave cycles. It can be combined with matching BLDC motors and planetary gearheads. The encoder can be integrated into the brushless drives ECX 13 and ECX 16 Speed (up to 120,000 rpm and 104 W) without any increase in length. When the gearheads GPX 13 and GPX 16 Speed (0.2 Nm maximum continuous torque) are added to the combination, customers receive a fully sterilizable positioning system.
