SIPOS adopts new encoder solution

– A new approach for actuator position detection has been adopted for SIPOS 5 Flash actuators. As an alternative to the company's established signalling gear, the new encoder solution affords highest precision position detection. A design breakthrough offered by the encoder is an ability to detect position equally precisely, without battery or buffer capacitor, when power is off.

Introduction of the new technology by SIPOS enables measurement of over 300,000 revolutions of the output shaft. For example, at 36 revolutions per stroke, an accuracy of 0.002% is achieved with a resolution of 0.0005%.

Total non-intrusive commissioning is offered as end positions can be set without opening the actuator housing. Additionally, when combined with the actuator's double-sealed customer connection compartment, the protection of electronics from harmful environmental conditions is ensured a feature reported as particularly important during challenging commissioning phases.
