Energy Harvesting Integrated into Lika Multiturn Encoders 

The EHO36 and EHM36 are the latest series of miniature absolute encoders from Lika Electronic. Built in a compact and rugged 36-mm housing with 6-mm solid and blind hollow shafts, they can be equipped with either high accuracy optical sensing technology (EHO36) or robust magnetic sensing technology (EHM36). 

The multiturn versions integrate the company’s energy harvesting technology circuit which is battery-free and gearless. They are ideally suited for reliable operation in small motors and especially highly dynamic servomotors, including product handling equipment, pick & place robots, electronic assembly systems, printing and measuring machines, electro-medical and laboratory instruments, and geared limit switches in wind turbines. They are also well suited for advanced industrial automation applications that require accurate real-time motion control, especially in tight and confined spaces where the footprint is a primary concern. 

A specialist in the development of encoders and position measuring systems, Lika is headquartered in Carre, west of Venice in northern Italy. See www.lika.com
