Magnetic encoders for smart factory automation

No matter how sophisticated the design, robots still depend on the components used. Position encoders are one of the key components for robot position, orientation, and motion control.

RLS non-contact magnetic encoders deliver excellent performance, system safety, and stability for robotic applications, such as motor feedback, joint position control, linear motion detection, grippers, and force feedback. The wide range of available RLS encoder shapes and sizes allows for greater flexibility in system design. RLS non-contact magnetic encoder technology ensures reliable operation of RLS sensors for years to come.
