Portescap combines accuracy and positioning feedback with its newest M Sense B Encoder

New from the miniature motor technology specialists Portescap, and available from UK motion control component and systems supplier Mclennan, the M Sense B encoder is a great match with Portescap's Brush DC and Brushless DC motors - to provide feedback control in applications that require high accuracy in a compact design.

Portescap introduces the newest magnetic encoder to its product line, the M Sense B encoder - designed specifically for applications that require high accuracy and in a compact design. The M Sense B is the first in its class to offer accuracy in the range of 1-1.5 degrees covering a resolution band up to 1024 lines with an integrated line driver resulting in accurate positioning and speed control. The M Sense B encoder offers a solution to a variety of applications with its line driver in a single chip leading to its small and compact design. The output connection provides excellent flexibility for easier integration with the rest of the application, all in a low-cost package. Application industries include but are not limited to medical pumps, medical imaging, life sciences, security and access robotics, and aerospace and defence.

The M Sense B features high accuracy up to 1.5 degrees for more accurate application control, reducing the risk of mechanical error. The integrated line driver reduces the need for an additional customer-end driver by providing long communication lines handled directly between encoder and the driver. Resolution up to 1024 delivers higher accuracy on angular measurements – excellent for closed look motion feedback and accurate positioning. Cable output flexibility is available in both axial and radial options offering a compact mechanical design in a smaller package.

The M Sense B encoder pairs great with many of Portescap’s Brush DC and Brushless DC options that require feedback control. The M Sense line of encoders will offer additional sizes in the future.
