The Solution
EPC’s solution was the Model 15T/H encoder. The small form factor was easily incorporated into the design with minimal visual impact on this unique exhibit.
“To our knowledge, this will be the first-ever simulator of its kind, and we at OAM are very excited to have Encoder Products Company’s support in making this a reality, ” said Scott Buckingham, Operations Manager at OAM.
The Model 15T (thru-bore) or 15H (blind hollow bore) offers a high performance feedback solution in a low-profile package. Unlike modular or kit encoders, the Model 15 utilizes an integral bearing set and an innovative flexible mounting system, which are much more tolerant to axial misalignment or radial shaft runout.
The slotted flex mounts provide 20 or 30 degrees of rotational adjustment for commutation or index pulse timing. Installation is quick and easy – for brushless servo motor applications, three 120° electrical phase tracks can provide up to 12-pole commutation feedback. The optional 100° C and 120° C temperature options allow servo motors to operate at higher power outputs and duty cycles. The Model 15 provides stable and reliable operation and is an excellent replacement for other manufacturers’ modular encoders where a high performance solution is desired.
The museum reported back to us that the simulator worked perfectly, exactly as they hoped.
