Same Sky Expands Absolute Encoder Line to Support Larger Shaft Sizes

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. — November 5, 2024 — Same Sky’s Motion & Control Group today announced the addition of a new series to its innovative AMT absolute encoder family designed to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). The AMT24 series, based on Same Sky’s proprietary capacitive ASIC technology, brings the same high levels of durability, accuracy, and immunity to environmental particulates as current AMT encoder models. Outputting 12 bits or 14 bits of absolute position information with single-turn or multi-turn output options, the AMT24 utilizes a high-speed RS-485 protocol for fast, low latency position data.
Offering radial or axial cable connections, this absolute encoder series is housed in a compact modular package with a locking hub for ease of installation. It boasts low power consumption of 16 mA at 5 V, a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 105ۥ°C, and high accuracy of ±0.2 mechanical degrees. The digital nature of the AMT24 series also allows users to set the zero position via Same Sky’s AMT Viewpoint™ GUI or the encoder’s RS-485 protocol. Additionally, the digital interface of the AMT24 encoder can be used to set addresses for multiple encoders sharing the RS-485 bus.
The AMT24-V kit affords users further flexibility in their design with the support of 9 different sleeve bore sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm and simple mounting tools under a single SKU.
The AMT24 encoder models are available immediately with prices starting at $50.31 per unit at 50 pieces through distribution. Please contact Same Sky for OEM pricing.
