RLS Launches 'Buy Online' Web Site For Magnetic Encoders

Non-contact solid-state RLS encoders provide frictionless, zero-wear, "fit and forget" reliability. 

Industry's toughest encoders can now be ordered online, enabling quick-click selection of cost-saving solutions to extreme motion control applications. Rugged RLS/Renishaw rotary and linear magnetic encoders can be purchased on-line from stock 24 hours a day from www.rlsdirect.com. 

Breakthroughs in simplicity, the solid-state, non-contact designs bring frictionless low-inertia operation, wear-free reliability, and space-saving miniaturization to problem conditions and harsh operating environments.

Easy to integrate, the RLS magnetic encoders are available in 7-bit to 13-bit (8192 counts per rev) units, industry-standard absolute, incremental or linear output formats, and come in packaged, component, and modular models.

The www.rlsdirect.com web site speeds and simplifies ordering on smaller quantities of stock encoders. Large quantity orders and custom orders should be directed to RLS/Renishaw sales representatives, using links available on the web site. 

The rugged encoders provide proven "ready for anything" solutions to shock, vibration, pressures, temperature extremes, high speeds, high acc/dec, even immersion. RLS rotary encoders deliver high-resolution positioning (up to 8,192 counts per revolution), speeds to over 30,000 rpm, and measurement accuracies to 0.5°, while withstanding temperatures from -40° to +125°C.  Linear magnetic encoders offer speeds to 25 m/s, resolutions down to 1 µm, -20° to 85°C operating temperatures, and travels up to 100 meters.

The magnetic encoders are manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 standards and are RoHS compliant. 

RLS/Renishaw magnetic encoders have been widely adopted for motor feedback, marine instrumentation and directional control, oil rigs, subsea systems, pumps and valves, metalworking, industrial automation, printing and converting, steer-by-wire systems, off-road vehicles and mobility devices, medical scanners and surgical robots, industrial power tools, and CCTV systems.
