The OREA is a high-resolution optical absolute kit encoder built for applications that demand maximum positioning accuracy. Its bearingless, contactless design eliminates mechanical wear and reduces maintenance. As a result, it delivers reliable performance and a long service life. The reflective encoder also installs quickly, making it easy to integrate into compact motion control systems.
The encoder provides single-turn absolute position feedback with 20-bit resolution. It supports both BiSS and SSI interfaces for fast, reliable communication. In addition, it operates from a 5 VDC power supply and connects easily to servo drives, PLCs, and motion controllers. Because it provides absolute position data, the system does not require homing after power-up.
The OREA also offers excellent design flexibility. You can customize the code wheel to fit different hollow shaft diameters. You can also modify the housing to reduce the installation height. After installation, a simple calibration process minimizes eccentricity and maximizes measurement accuracy.
The encoder operates in temperatures from –25°C to +85°C and complies with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Therefore, it performs reliably in demanding industrial environments. It is an excellent choice for robotics, servo motors, direct-drive systems, medical devices, semiconductor equipment, and other precision automation applications.
