A New Breakthrough in Multi-turn Absolute Encoder with Small Size - W16
In precision control applications, space constraints and high accuracy demands frequently challenge engineers. MOONS' newly introduced W16 series, a compact multi-turn absolute encoder with a Ø16mm design, is perfectly suited to address these issues. The small stature of the W16 encoder makes it an ideal solution for numerous applications requiring both compactness and precision control. Additionally, this encoder offers rapid response times and high operational efficiency, along with a power-off memory feature, ensuring stable and reliable absolute position feedback with superior performance and exacting control. The W16 series multi-turn absolute encoder, introduced by MOONS', is compatible with slotless hollow cup motors of Ø16mm or larger. This product, following the launch of the P22 series in 2022, epitomizes the pinnacle of professional dedication and excellence, embodying both a broad and meticulous design philosophy. With an outer diameter of just 16mm, the W16 series encoders are significantly more compact compared to the P22 (Ø22mm) series. This reduction in size makes them particularly suited for applications where space is at a premium, facilitating designs that require miniaturization. 
1. Product Features
High Integration • The W16's Ø16mm compact design allows for seamless integration into existing systems. This small encoder is particularly advantageous in systems where space is limited and the integration of multiple sensors and electronic components is essential. Power off Memory • The encoder provides absolute position information, eliminating the need for zeroing at each startup. Multi-Rotation Recording • The W16 series encoder is capable of recording multiple rotations, making it ideal for applications requiring long-distance rotational measurements. This encoder features a battery-powered design, reducing reliance on external power sources and extending its lifespan. As a result, it lowers maintenance and operational costs, particularly beneficial in applications demanding prolonged operation. Simplified Mechanisms • The encoder eliminates the need for additional counting and resetting mechanisms, simplifying both system design and programming. This not only streamlines operations but also significantly reduces the risk of errors. Efficient Positioning • In applications that involve frequent starting and stopping, the encoder delivers instant absolute position information. This feature significantly reduces the time needed for system repositioning, thereby enhancing overall work efficiency.
