The Mercury 1500P encoder is a digital output system. Designed for PC board mounting, it is available with linear or rotary scales.
Mercury’s space-saving, integrated configuration gives OEM system designers a breakthrough in performance.
Imagine what you can do with this!
OEMs can now use encoders for closed loop control where
it was previously not possible or cost effective. Engineers can
achieve dramatic improvements in system speed, throughput,
and reliability, while reducing cost, size and weight. The
Mercury 1500P series kit encoders make it all possible. The
digital output sensors mount directly on your printed circuit
board within an EMI shielded module. The low Z height of the
sensor, only 5.6mm, opens up exciting design possibilities.

Eliminate the Frustration of Touchy
Encoder Alignment
Mercury Solves this Problem for Good
Fussy alignment is no longer a concern. With Mercury’s
patented PurePrecision™ optics, advanced SmartPrecision™
electronics and LED alignment indicators, you can push the
sensor against your reference surface, tighten the screws and
you’re finished. Try that with brand X or Y.
This performance is possible thanks to relaxed alignment
tolerances, particularly in the theta Z axis. Mercury offers a
± 2° sweet spot– that’s a 300% improvement over the best
competitive encoder. And that will result in dramatic savings
in manufacturing costs.
No other commercially available encoder is easier to align,
easier to use, or easier to integrate into your designs.

Mercury Can Reduce System Size and Cost
Mercury’s sensor height is 44% shorter than competitive encoders,
making it easy to fit into your design. This reduction can also cut total
system weight and cost by allowing the use of smaller motors and
stages. Safe system operation is also enhanced thanks to Mercury’s
generous standoff clearance– 200% greater than other encoders.
And it’s standoff tolerance is 50% greater than the best alternative.
This significantly relaxes mechanical system tolerances,
while reducing system costs.

Scale Specifications
Standard and Customized Scales
MicroE Systems offers a wide array of chrome on glass scales for the highest accuracy and best thermal stability. Easy to install, standard
linear and rotary scales meet most application requirements. Customized linear, rotary, and rotary segment scales are available where needed. All scales include an optical index. Mercury's glass scales save time by eliminating motion system calibrations or linearity corrections
required by other encoders, and provide better thermal stability than metal tape scales.
Options include:
• Standard linear: 18mm - 2m
• Standard rotary: 12mm - 107.95mm diameter, with or without hubs
• Custom linear*: special lengths, widths, thickness, index mark locations and special low CTE materials
• Custom rotary*: special ID's, OD's (up to 304.8mm), index mark outside the main track and special low CTE materials
• Mounting of hubs for rotary scales: MicroE Systems can mount and align standard, custom, or customer-supplied hubs
• Rotary segments*: any angle range; wide range of radius values
*Custom scales or rotary segments are available in OEM quantities. Contact your local MicroE Systems sales office.
