NEW Bearingless Absolute Encoder for Electric Motors is Virtually Maintenance Free

The ECI 119 sets itself apart with a low profile (h. 19 mm, O.D. 92 mm) and large through shaft (50, 38, or 30 mm), making it well suited for electric motors in many applications, as well as on swivel and tilting axes. There is no need to worry about bearing wear or loading, and concerns of mechanical self heating of the encoder and shaft currents are eliminated. read more »
