RIK

Incremental optical angle encoder

Compact and lightweight design, measuring steps of down to 0.135 angular seconds, rotational speeds of up to 22,200 rpm, and many other features

 

The RIK was especially designed for applications with limited installation space. The very flat and light design of the encoder enables the user a wide range of applications.

  • With EPIFLEX sensor module
  • Individually configurable
  • 1 Vpp or RS-422 output signal
  • Up to 100-times signal interpolation
  • Measuring steps up to 0.135 arc seconds
  • Rotational speed up to 22,200 rpm (with 1 Vpp)
  • Minimal mass moment of inertia of the aluminium grating disk, therefore applicable for high angular accelerations
  • Up to 24,000 increments on a grating disk (RS 192)
  • Special vacuum version available
Save money

Reduced cost of production and lower encoder prices thanks to standardized components

Save time

Fast delivery thanks to in-stock encoder components and improved production

Precise positioning

High signal quality and stability thanks to a new sensor design and three separate scanning fields
