FAULHABER IEH2‐4096 integrated encoder

The IEH2‐4096 integrated encoder from FAULHABER IEH2 offers high resolution, an expanded operating temperature range and improved speed control in comparison to the company’s previous models.

The previous components — sensor and circuit — are replaced in the product by one single‐chip Hall module. This developed circuit board is more thermally robust than the previously used magnetoresistive sensors and integrated circuits. As a result, the operating temperature range has expanded to ‐40°C to +100°C.

At 4096 pulses, the encoder has a resolution four times higher than the previous model, which leads to improved control dynamics. The model also offers improved speed control, particularly at low speeds. The product remains mechanically compatible with the previous models.

The integrated encoder can be used in application areas including equipment technology, camera technology and precision optics. These application areas are characterised by sophisticated engineering in which the individual components cannot occupy much space. The integrated encoder satisfies these requirements.

The unit can be combined with precious‐metal commutated motors with diameters from 15 to 22 mm and lengthens them by just 1.4 mm. Encoders with a separate attachment housing require several times more installation space.
