Compact and powerful

Automated guided vehicles and cobots require high-precision operation, yet offer limited space for the necessary sensors. Hengstler's Acuro AM34 absolute encoder is the most compact encoder in its class and easily fits even in these applications. Drive manufacturers therefore no longer have to compromise between size and performance.

Servomotors for cobots and automated guided vehicles must be compact. The built-in encoders have a significant influence on the motor length: they should therefore be as compact as possible. Hengstler's Acuro AM34 absolute encoder has an installation depth of less than 20 mm and a housing diameter of just 38 mm. Using this encoder, drive technology manufacturers can therefore design particularly slim motors.

The Acuro AM34's other specifications are also impressive: The encoder offers resolutions of 16 to 20 bits in the single-turn version and 12 bits in the multi-turn version. Thanks to its bearingless design, the encoder can be used at speeds of up to 12,000 rpm without overheating. The encoder's operating temperature range extends up to +120°C.

The Acuro AM34 features a digital BiSS-C interface and an SSI interface. It is also equipped with an Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) that stores motor and drive data. Using the EDS, the encoder can be installed quickly. Furthermore, the Acuro AM34 features a motor winding temperature sensor input.

The absolute encoder's very compact dimensions and wide mounting tolerances ensure easy installation. Users can choose between a shaft mount and a direct flange when integrating the encoder into the motor.
