Harsh Environment Rotary Encoders

Harsh Environment

Electro Optical Gimbals

CASE STUDY

  • Electro-optical gimbals for aerial, ground and marine missions deliver day and night capabilities of surveillance & targeting.
  • These systems must have a stabilized fast and slow Azimuth & Elevation motion in the harshest environmental conditions including shock, vibration, and temperature, and all within the smallest size and weight.

Encoder REQUIREMENTS

  • Hollow shaft
  • High precision
  • Low weight
  • Low profile
  • Immunity to magnetic fields interference and EMC

ROTARY ENCODER

  • Most popular DS & VLR line of Netzer absolute position Electric Encoder™.
  • Compact, low profile, lightweight & wide bore: Allowing high integration level for a small size system design.
  • High precision and resolution for very accurate slow motion and long-range pointing.
  • Up to 21-bit resolution or above with 10mDeg or better accuracy.
  • Frameless & contactless, introducing minimal weight & inertia (load) to the system.
  • Wide & extreme working temperatures & vibration span and shock resistance.
  • Special safety algorithms with real-time BIT (Built-In Test) over SSi or BiSS.
