17 Bit Encoder : Low Profile Miniature Multi Turn Encoder

VLM-60

The Netzer VLM is a true multiturn absolute rotary encoder that delivers precise, high-resolution feedback with up to 21-bit resolution and accuracy reaching 0.01 Degree. Designed with ultra-thin (<8 mm) and lightweight (<15g) construction, it ensures minimal system impact while providing exceptional reliability through contactless capacitive technology. This makes it an ideal solution for aerospace, robotics, and advanced automation applications.

With its hollow, low-mass design, the VLM enhances integration, minimizes system inertia, and improves overall efficiency. For unparalleled multiturn rotary feedback in a compact form, the VLM is the ultimate choice.
