DATA SHEET MBD01_11 Issue 11, 6th May 2024 AksIM-2 Off-Axis Rotary Absolute Magnetic Encoder HIGH ACCURACY HIGH SPEED AksIM-2 is a non-contact, high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder designed for integration into applications with limited space. A hollow ring, true absolute functionality and high-speed operation make this encoder suitable for many applications. The AksIM-2 encoder system consists of an axially magnetised ring and a readhead. The encoders are equipped with BiSS, Asynchronous serial (UART), SPI, PWM or SSI communication interfaces and offer a range of binary resolutions up to 20 bits per revolution. MULTITURN COUNTER True absolute system Multiturn counter option Custom magnetic sensor ASIC High speed operation Self-calibration option High repeatability COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS ROBOTIC JOINTS
Open the catalog to page 1General information The AksIM-2 encoder operates in a temperature range between -40 °C and +105 °C and is highly resistant to shock and vibration. It has a built-in advanced self-monitoring function that continuously checks several internal parameters. Error reports, warnings and other status signals are available on all communication interfaces and visualised with the on-board LED. The AksIM-2 encoder system is suitable for use in industrial and medical applications. A typical application is a robotic arm joint with a cable feed through the ring, or a precision gearbox where the ring is...
Open the catalog to page 2Storage and handling Storage temperature Operating temperature HANDLE WITH CARE. This encoder system is a high performance metrology product and should be treated with the same care as any other precision instrument. Use of heavy duty industrial tools or exposure to strong magnets, such as a magnetic base, is unacceptable and risks of irreparable damage to the product. The magnetic ring should not be exposed to magnetic field densities higher than 50 mT on its surface, as this can damage the ring. Please see Chemical resistance or contact RLS. Readhead is ESD sensitive - handle with care....

Open the catalog to page 19Installation instructions Axial position adjustment (ride height) The distance between the sensor and the ring should be between 0.05 mm and 0.35 mm. See detail A on dimension drawings of encoder assemblies. Using the gold-plated surface on the bottom as a reference surface for mounting the readhead is recommended. If the top side of the readhead is used as a reference surface, note that the thickness tolerance of the readhead must be taken into account. Also make sure that the signal traces and components are not in contact with mechanical assembly. Optionally, you may also use shims for...
