US Digital

Vancouver, WA - US Digital is proud to announce the release of its new miniature absolute magnetic kit encoder, the MAE3.

The MAE3 is an absolute magnetic kit encoder that provides shaft position information over 360 of rotation with no stops or gaps. This magnetic encoder is designed to easily mount to and dismount from an existing shaft of 2mm to 1/4". The MAE3 is available with an analog or a pulse width modulated (PWM) digital output.

Analog output (MAE3-A) provides an analog voltage that is proportional to the absolute shaft position. Analog output is only available in 10-bit resolution.

PWM output provides a pulse width duty cycle that is proportional to the absolute shaft position. PWM output is available in 10-bit (MAE3-P) and 12-bit (MAE3-P12) resolutions.

The MAE3 will mount to a 0.750" bolt circle. Two additional bolt circle sizes will be released within the next quarter: 1.280" and 1.812". Industry standard shaft lengths of 0.220" and 0.500" are both available on the MAE3.

Custom Sizes
US Digital is in the business of solving motion control problems and looks forward to providing the most useful and versatile product on the market. If there are additional bolt circles or shaft lengths that should be added to the MAE3, please contact our Technical Support department.
