The MDE22 magnetic rotary encoder delivers high-precision position and speed feedback in an ultra-compact 22 mm package. Designed specifically for miniature motors, aerospace systems, defense equipment, and high-performance industrial applications, it combines robust magnetic sensing with exceptional reliability in harsh environments.
Built with on-axis magnetic encoder technology, the MDE22 maintains accurate performance at speeds of up to 20,000 rpm. In addition, it withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +125°C, making it ideal for demanding applications where conventional encoders may not perform reliably.
The encoder offers analog sine/cosine (2 Vpp or 0.5 Vpp) and RS422 output options, allowing easy integration with servo drives, motor controllers, and industrial automation systems. Furthermore, multiple protection ratings—including IP53, IP64, and IP68—enable the MDE22 to operate in environments exposed to moisture, dust, and contaminants.
Its compact design features a 22 mm diameter housing with a 4 mm shaft, making installation simple in space-constrained systems. Combined with low power consumption and excellent EMC performance, the MDE22 provides dependable feedback for critical motion control applications.
