The InCo 40 inductive encoder represents the next generation of high-resolution inductive encoder technology. Built around the patented half-wave sine coil design (DE10 2023 102 164.8), it delivers exceptional native resolution, outstanding signal stability, and reliable position feedback in demanding industrial environments.
Unlike conventional inductive encoders, the InCo 40 offers higher native resolution while maintaining excellent immunity to electrical noise and external magnetic fields. As a result, it provides accurate motion feedback even in applications exposed to dirt, dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes.
In addition, the encoder features a highly scalable design, allowing engineers to customize the size, resolution, and communication interface to meet specific application requirements. It is available as both a kit encoder and a segment encoder, making integration simple in robotics, servo systems, and high-precision positioning equipment.
Thanks to its bearingless, wear-free construction, the InCo 40 minimizes maintenance while increasing long-term reliability. Furthermore, the encoder generates a true zero pulse directly from the inductive field, eliminating the need for additional sensors and improving positioning accuracy.
