CUI Intros New MAS42 and MAH42 Compact Encoders

CUI Inc. (Beaverton, OR) introduced its new MAS42 and MAH42 compact absolute encoders, designed for applications where limited space is a consideration and up to 12 bits of resolution is needed. Typical applications include testing devices, printing machines and measuring instruments.

Measuring 52 mm x 30 mm, the series is available in shaft (6 mm shaft diameter) and hollow-shaft (10 mm bore diameter) versions. The units deliver eight bits (256 PPR) to 12 bits (4096 PPR) of absolute position information with a gray code, natural binary, or BDC output. Capable of operating within a -10 °C to +70 °C temperature range, the units can accurately measure the rotary process as fast as 6,000 rpm. The MAS42 and MAH42 can accept 5 Vdc and 12 Vdc to 24 Vdc input-supply voltage with a 100 mA max current.

Pricing for the MAS42 and MAH42 absolute encoders starts at $193 per unit in 1,000-piece quantities. Availability is five to seven weeks production.
