What makes the AMCI DuraCoder so much more durable than a conventional rotary shaft encoder?
Unlike conventional rotary shaft encoders, the AMCI DuraCoder does not rely on disks made of glass, plastic, or metal to determine rotary position. Depending on the material employed to make these disks, they are traditionally susceptible to breakage, dirt, and/or debris, all of which corrupt accurate rotary shaft position sensing. Furthermore, magnet type encoders suffer from resolution limitations and noise distortion. DuraCoder removes frailty from the conventional encoder design by utlizing ultra resiliant resolver technology to communicate rotary shaft position. Used for decades by the U.S. military, the resolver rotary position sensor is considered one of the most stable and accurate in the world.
