Magnetic encoder sensor for precise position detection in industrial applications.

WEM11HR Magnetic Absolute Kit Encoder

The WEM11HR magnetic absolute kit encoder delivers high-resolution single-turn position feedback for motor control, robotics, and industrial automation. Designed for OEM integration, this compact encoder combines up to 17-bit absolute resolution with a simple, bearing-free design, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained motion control applications.

Using magnetic sensing technology, the WEM11HR provides 131,072 unique positions per revolution, ensuring accurate and repeatable position measurement without requiring a homing sequence after power-up. In addition, its SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) with Gray code and an RS422 differential transceiver delivers fast, reliable, and noise-resistant communication with PLCs, servo drives, and motion controllers.

The encoder’s compact PCB design allows quick and easy installation on a wide range of motor shafts. It is available with multiple magnet and hub configurations, giving engineers greater flexibility when designing custom motor feedback systems. As a result, the WEM11HR integrates seamlessly into servo motors, BLDC motors, and precision positioning equipment.

Built for demanding industrial environments, the encoder operates from -40°C to +85°C while running on a 3.3 VDC supply. Its contactless magnetic sensing technology eliminates mechanical wear, reducing maintenance and ensuring long-term reliability.
