AMT Encoders

Same Sky's digital encoder kits support shaft sizes from 1 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 in)

Image of Same Sky's AMT Encoders Same Sky's incremental, absolute, and commutation AMT modular encoder kits offer a highly ruggedized solution without sacrificing accuracy. The AMT series is not susceptible to contaminants such as dirt, dust, and oil because of Same Sky's proprietary capacitive sensing technology. With up to 22 programmable resolutions, nine sleeve options supporting a range of shaft sizes, and an operating temperature range up to -40°C to +125°C, these AMT encoders deliver increased flexibility during prototyping and the ability to simplify the BOM during production. To aid in design cycle and implementation demands, pre-configured models are also available.
