DATA SHEET MCD01_01 Issue 01, 3rd April 2023 AksIM-4™ Off-Axis Rotary Absolute Magnetic Encoders HIGH ACCURACY AksIM-4 is a non-contact, high performance off-axis absolute rotary encoder. It is designed for integration into applications with limited space and for rotary systems with larger shaft diameters or requirements for large opening. A hollow ring, true absolute functionality and high-speed operation make this encoder suitable for many applications. The AksIM-4 encoder system consists of an axially magnetised ring and a readhead. The encoders are equipped with BiSS communication interface and offer binary resolutions up to 21 bits per revolution. LARGE SIZE True absolute system High speed operation Custom magnetic sensor ASIC Self-calibration option High repeatability SERVO MECHANISMS ROBOTIC JOINTS ROTARY TABLES

General information Dimensions and tolerances are in mm. Dimensions without tolerance values are in accordance with ISO 2768-m. + The AksIM-4 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. MRA axial magnetic ring The AksIM-4 encoder system is suitable for use in industry, medicine and...

Storage 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....

Installation instructions Axial position adjustment (mounting distance) The mounting dimension between the gold-plated surface at the bottom of the readhead and the bottom of the ring should be 2.85 ± 0.1 mm for MC115 and 6.65 ± 0.1 mm for MC150. See detail A on dimension drawings of encoder assemblies. It is recommended that the gold-plated surface on the bottom be used as the reference surface for mounting the readhead. If the top of the readhead is used as the reference surface, the thickness tolerance of the readhead must be taken into account. The integrated LED can be used as an...

Status indicator LED The LED provides visual feedback on signal strength, error status, and is used for setup and diagnostics. Flashing LED indicates that power is being supplied to the encoder, but communication has not been established. When communication is running at a rate of at least 5 readings per second, LED will be constantly lit. LED signal Status Green Normal operation; position data is valid. Warning; position is valid, but the resolution and/or accuracy might be out of specification. Some operating conditions are outside limits. Error; position data is not valid. Slow flashing...

Accuracy of the encoder system Accurate centering of the ring is key to good overall accuracy. Minimising the eccentricity of the ring assembly (using a gauge) and using a drive shaft with precision bearings can usually reduce the error. A typical accuracy chart after good installation (without eccentricity) is shown in the figure below. To improve accuracy after installation, we recommend performing the self-calibration function. Example for encoder size MC115.
