The DS-90 is a member of the DS series of Electric Encoders?, based on Netzer Precision proprietary technology. The Electric Encoder? offers many advantages - some unparalleled Low profile (10 mm). Hollow, floating shaft. No bearings or other contacting elements. High resolution and precision. High tolerance to temperature extremes , shock, moisture, EMI, RFI and Magnetic fields. Very low weight. Holistic signal generation Analog or Digital interfaces. The Electric Encoder? is unique in being holistic, i.e., its output reading is the averaged outcome of the whole area of the rotor , This feature makes the Electric Encoder? forgiving to mounting tolerances, mechanical wander etc. The absence of components such as ball bearings , flexible couplers, glass disc, light sources and detectors, along with very low power consumption makes the Electric Encoder? virtually failure free. The internally shielded, DC operated Electric Encoder? includes an electric field generator, a field receiver, a sinusoidal shaped dielectric rotor, and processing electronics. The output signals of Electric Encoder? are analog Sine / Cosine representing the rotation angle. The digital outputs are obtained by further processing - which may be either internal or external to the encoder. The combination of precision, low profile, low weight and high reliability have made Netzer Precision encoders particularly suitable to a wide variety of critical applications including, but not limited to medical equipment and aerospace.
