OverviewAERO is Hohner's new series of capacitive absolute linear encoders. Designed for system integrators and machine manufacturers, AERO measures absolute linear position on compact, high-dynamic axes using a passive, cableless readhead mounted on the moving element.
Key features- Ultra-lightweight passive readhead with no cables on the moving element, eliminating moving wiring on the carriage.
- Simplified axis design by removing the need for drag chains or moving cable loops.
- Wide installation tolerances for faster installation and reduced need for readjustments.
- Capacitive sensing provides immunity to magnetic interference and robustness against vibration, dirt/oil and thermal variations.
- Supports multiple readheads on a single linear scale for multi-carriage solutions or controlling several loads on the same axis.
Typical applications- Machine tools / CNC
- Ball screw actuators
- Linear motors
- Multi-carriage systems
- Automation and packaging
- SMT pick-and-place
- Laser marking
- Medical and surgical robotics
AvailabilityAERO will be available very soon.
