Kit encoder with incremental or PWM output

Its compact design and low power consumption make this single-turn encoder the ideal angle sensor for autonomous systems. Since the rotary encoder has no bearings, it has an unlimited mechanical service life.

The MKI series kit encoder from MEGATRON gives engineers extreme flexibility in their design work. This rotary encoder has a housing diameter of just 14.8 mm and a depth of only 21.4 mm, making it suitable for shafts with diameters ranging from 3 mm to 6.35 mm. Other features include a wide input voltage range of up to 16.5 V and low current consumption of 17 mA (without load).

Additionally, the rotary encoder utilises the application's shaft, making it mechanically wear-free and maintenance-free. This is particularly advantageous for mobile applications or those involving high speeds, where sleeve or ball bearings cannot be used or would quickly wear out.

The MKI consists of a sensor housing and a mounting ring, as well as a slip-on magnet that matches the shaft. It has an incremental output and can also be supplied with a PWM signal. Thanks to the integrated Molex plug connection, the signal cable can easily be connected to the evaluation unit during installation or disconnected from the application during maintenance work.
