Axial Magnetic Rings for Absolute Angle Measurement

Robust rotary measuring encoders for Precise Motion Control of Humanoid Robotics

BML Magnetic Encoders  from Balluff provide the absolute position feedback humanoid robots need for controlled, smooth, and reliable motion. The systems are used wherever joints move — in arms, legs or the head. Axial ring encoder systems are well suited for motors, gearboxes, and rotary drive units in compact joint designs.

Key features:

Precision for robotic joint angle measurement

  • Compact, minimal installation space, flexible integration on the motor
  • High resolution: based on the chip, system offers up to 20-bit absolute resolution
  • Fully compatible with iC-MU Series
  • Wide range of diameters and thicknesses available
  • Customer specific fittings and shafts for special designs
  • High absolute measurement accuracy enabled by Nonius- and Permagnet® technology
  • Wear‑free & contact‑free sensing
  • Robust to dust, high temperatures, shock and vibration
