Product catalog summary
Overview
Timken's M15 and M15H Modular Magnetic Encoders offer superior sensing solutions with high reliability and cost-effectiveness compared to optical encoders. These encoders provide accurate speed and position data even in harsh environments.
M15 Encoder
The M15 encoder features high-resolution magnetic technology, offering durability and reliability in environments with contaminants like dirt and oil. It uses a differential magnetic sensor circuit to protect against magnetic interference and can withstand shock and vibration. The design includes a Hall Effect encoder with an integrated index pulse and a high-accuracy circuit for zero-speed and direction sensing.
M15H Encoder
The M15H model enhances the M15's capabilities with resolutions up to 8192 PPR. It maintains the same durability and design features, offering economical performance with adjustable housing for signal alignment.
Key Features
  • Resistant to liquids and particulates
  • Non-contact design to resist shock and vibration
  • High accuracy with less than 10 arc minutes
  • Compact and rugged design
  • Customizable for various applications
Electrical Specifications
  • Output: Two channels in quadrature with optional commutation
  • Resolution: 100PPR to 8192PPR
  • Data Rate: M15 up to 800 kHz, M15H up to 9.6mHz
  • Supply voltage: 5 VDC ±10%
Environmental Specifications
  • Operating temperature: -40º to 125º C for open collector, -40º to 85º C for line driver
  • Storage temperature: -55º to 150º C
  • Humidity: 98% relative humidity without condensation
  • RoHS Compliant
Applications
  • Servo motor control
  • Stepper motor positioning
  • DC brush-type motor positioning
  • Brushless DC motor control
Ordering Information
Part numbers for the encoders are determined based on resolution, commutation, index, hub size, electrical termination, and cover options. Detailed specifications and ordering instructions are available on Timken's website.
