NorthStar's Magcoder series of encoders takes the reliability and durability of the NorthStar brand to Medium Duty applications offering low cost solutions. Incorporating patented Magnetoresistive technology these hollow shaft and shafted encoders bridge the gap between our industrial and commercial product mix. The magnetic technology not only makes the system immune to common contaminants but also ensures reliable shaft velocity feedback. The pre-aligned design eliminates the need for adjustments or flexible couplings ensuring no mechanical linkage, thus providing accurate measurements. The Magcoder has a compact design, which permits space on motor shaft for other instrumentation and easy installation. The Magcoder also:

Provides up to 2048 pulses per revolution.

Has short circuit output protection.

Involves low maintenance.

Has an internal pulse wheel-no field gap checks, axial alignments or radial runout checks.
