ASA 42 Y01 Magnetic absolute encoder, an absolute position encoder for industrial automation.

ASA 42 Y01 Magnetic absolute encoder

The ASA 42 Y01 magnetic absolute encoder system delivers high-precision single-turn position feedback with simultaneous absolute, incremental, and commutation outputs. Designed for motor feedback, robotics, and industrial automation, this compact, bearing-free encoder combines reliable magnetic sensing with exceptional resistance to external magnetic interference.

Using off-axis Hall sensing and a two-track magnetic wheel, the ASA 42 Y01 applies the Nonius principle to achieve accurate absolute position measurement. In addition, its differential sensing technology effectively suppresses homogeneous magnetic interference, ensuring stable output signals even in environments with strong static magnetic fields.

The encoder provides 18-bit absolute resolution via SSI or BiSS® interfaces while simultaneously delivering ABI incremental signals with resolutions up to 65,536 pulses per revolution (PPR). It also generates UVW commutation signals for up to 16 pole pairs, making it an excellent choice for BLDC motors, servo systems, and precision motion control.

Its through-hollow shaft, compact bearing-free design, and IP68 protection rating allow easy integration into demanding industrial applications. Furthermore, the encoder operates reliably from -20°C to +85°C and complies with the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU).
