Motion Control – Micro Rotary Encoder
Motion Control – Toronto, Canada — Electromate adds the Netzer Precision VLP-13 to its catalog — a miniature, absolute rotary encoder engineered for space-constrained motion systems where size, precision, and reliability are essential.
Why the VLP-13 Matters
As demand grows for smaller, lighter, and more precise motion control systems across robotics, aerospace, medical, and automation sectors, the VLP-13 fills a critical gap. Its ultra-compact design and high- resolution absolute feedback enable engineers to embed reliable position sensing where previously only larger encoders could fit. The contactless capacitive technology ensures durability and long-term stability, ideal for mission-critical or long-service-life applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-compact footprint: Outer diameter 13.5 mm, height 10.9 mm, total weight only 2g (including 250 mm cable).
- High-resolution absolute feedback: Up to 19-bit resolution (single-turn), providing fine positional granularity
- Contactless capacitive sensing: Eliminates wear-prone mechanical components, immune to magnetic interference, shock, and vibration — offering long-term reliability.
- Standard digital interfaces: Supports SSI and BiSS-C outputs over differential RS-422 communication.
- Robust environmental performance: Rated for industrial conditions (shock, vibration, EMC), suitable for demanding applications in robotics, aerospace, and automation.
The compact size and robust design of the VLP-13 make it suitable for:
- Miniature motors and small-form-factor servo systems
- Articulated robotic joints where space and weight are constrained
- Precision motion control in automation equipment and small industrial machinery
- Aerospace or harsh-environment systems requiring high reliability and immunity to EMI
- Aerospace actuators, UAV servos, and space-constrained mechanisms
- Medical equipment and surgical robots
- High-precision automation in tight form-factor devices
