Compagnie Press Zettlex announces new IncOder range
27 June 2008
Zettlex announces that it has entered the pancake resolver market with a new range of products called IncOder.
Zettlex IncOders are non-contacting, absolute, angle and speed measuring devices. IncOders measure the angle of a rotating Target relative to a stationary Antenna using a unique inductive technique.
No contacts, no bearings, no fine wires..…just accurate measurements all day, every day.
IncOders can be thought of as an inductive encoder - hence the name. It can also be thought of as a cross between an encoder and a resolver - with the advantages of both but the disadvantages of neither.
- Proven technology – solid track record using resolver style principles
- Non-contact – for high reliability & long life
- Stable & repeatable – ensures accuracy in all conditions
- Simple assembly – no need for precision fitting or alignment
- Robust – even in harsh environments. Note that IncOders do not use fine wires and are unaffected by dirt or liquids
- No bearings – for low friction & high reliability
- Compact - low profile & lightweight
- Annular – slip rings or shafts can pass through if required
- Non-ITAR restricted - IncOders use no ITAR or US components
- High speed – IncOders can be used for motor speed & position control
- Readily customized - to suit specific requirements.
NOTES TO EDITORS:- Zettlex is a sensors company.Our non-contact position sensors measure accurately & reliably even in harsh conditions - hence our motto - 'Precision in the Extreme'. We
- Design & make position sensors
- Supply sensor components - notably integrated circuits for inductive position sensors
- Develop non-contact sensing solutions to customer requirements.
Unique technology and laminar, printed construction enables inductive sensors with no contacts, no bearings, no delicate parts, no maintenance, no bother.....just accurate measurements - all day, every day.
We sell our sensors to OEMs and system integrators in a range of sectors. About half of our business is for safety related or safety critical control systems and we are familiar with the demanding requirements of industrial, aerospace, defence, oil & gas sectors. We can supply fully documented and qualified sensing solutions to DO-254 and DO-178.
Applications include position measurement, user interfaces, servo controls & motor encoders. This covers linear transducers and rotary encoders as well as measurement of 2D displacement, 3D displacement, multi-turn angle, tilt, weight, pressure, vibration, strain and flow.
Zettlex inductive position sensors are an economical, lightweight and robust alternative to potentiometers, optical encoders, rotary encoders, resolvers, RVDTs, LVDTs, magnetic sensors and capacitive encoders.
Zettlex is ISO 9001 and BS EN 13980 certified for the manufacture of position sensors including intrinsically safe ATEX transmitters and position feedback controls for potentially explosive environments.
