The New Mercury 2000 encoder represents the next level of encoder performance. With programmable interpolation, smallest sensor size,
easiest alignment, and superior noise immunity, the M2000 delivers Best-in-Class performance.
Imagine what you can do with this!
The new Mercury 2000 can reduce the cost and size of your system, and improve
its performance all at once! MicroE Systems’ Mercury 2000 kit encoders are

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.

Standoff Clearance
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 its standoff tolerance is 50% greater than the best alternative.
This significantly relaxes mechanical system tolerances,
while reducing system costs.

SmartPrecision
Electronics Module
The Mercury 2000 encoder system includes a SmartPrecision
electronics module. This compact, fully-featured signal processing
system performs the following functions:
• Interpolation - up to 256X with 28.8 million quadrature states / sec.
• Programmable interpolation level and output bandwidth
• Accuracy optimization - sensor signals are automatically optimized
to improve system accuracy and maximize repeatability
• Signal strength indication - red / yellow / green LEDs assist during
setup and provide diagnostics at a glance
• Index centering - centers the bi-directional index output pulse for
repeatability to +/-1LSB
• Power-indicating LED
• Computer interface - for programming and data acquisition using
SmartPrecision software
• Superior EMI / RFI immunity - CE compliant
• Mounting options - all electronics are within the EMI-shielded
connector housing and can be screwed directly into a mating
connector that is bulkhead mounted, or the module may be mounted
to the frame of your motion system and connected using an
extension cable
SmartPrecision module enclosure provides “Best-in-Class”
noise immunity for high noise environments.
Programmable Interpolation
The electronics module has programmable interpolation that is
selectable over the range x4 to x256 in integer steps, providing output
resolutions that can be matched to your application requirements. This
feature provides linear resolutions from 5µm to 0.078µm in convenient
increments (e.g. x200 interpolation = 0.1µm) and rotary resolutions
from 6,600 CPR to 4.2M CPR. Specify the interpolation value at the
time of ordering or select the interpolation at your site using
SmartPrecision Software.
Programmable Maximum Output Frequency
For encoder applications combining high resolution and high speed,
the SmartPrecision electronics module supports up to 28.8 million
quadrature state changes per second**. By specifying the maximum
output frequency to match your controller's capability - ranging from
900,000 up to 28.8 million quadrature state changes per second - the
Mercury encoder system will never produce encoder counts faster than
your controller can read them. Specify the encoder’s maximum output
frequency at the time of ordering or select the setting at your site
using MicroE's SmartPrecision Software.
* The electronics module’s serial computer programming interface can be translated to be RS-232
compatible using the MicroE SmartPrecision Computer Interface Adapter or a voltage translation
circuit of your own design.

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.
