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
