MicroE Systems announces Mercury™ SmartPrecision™ programmable encoders for optimal motion system flexibility. Mercury™ programmable encoders enable fine-tuning of the motion loop by allowing resolution settings in integer steps from x4 to x4096. Maximum linear resolution is 5 nanometers; maximum rotary resolution is 67.1 million counts/rev. Output is A-quad-B and high-speed serial word.

Other features include programmable alarms, output bandwidth, alarm threshold, and diagnostics. Select models operate at up to 5 nanometer resolution with speeds up to 7.2m/s. All models have sensors measuring just 8.4mm tall and work in both linear and rotary applications.
