Space-saving solutions for compact and maintenance-free drive systems
The trend in drive technology is towards more compact, efficient and low-maintenance motors. Companies need to reduce installation space, lower installation costs and at the same time increase the reliability of their drive systems. Integrated encoders for motors offer the right solution for this. They are integrated directly into the motor and replace classic surface-mounted encoders. There are clear advantages for users: less installation space, less installation effort, reduced wear and lower overall costs over the entire life cycle.

External Encoders vs. Integrated Encoders – An Overview of the Key Differences
Attachment encoder
Additional installation space for add-on encoders
Bearing-mounted encoders are susceptible to wear and tear
Encoder is mounted, calibrated and wired separately
High overall costs for the drive system
Integrated encoder solutions
For extremely compact drive concepts
Wear and maintenance-free thanks to bearingless technology
Less effort required to install and connect the sensors
Reduced overall costs
