Mercury TM 1200 PCB-Mount Analog Encoders For Customer Interpolation- Resolution to 0.078μm Reflective Linear and Rotary Encoders Resolution Determined by Customer Electronics Linear: 20μm to 0.078μm Rotary: 2,500 to 4.2M CPR Sensor the size of a Dime Accuracy Linear: ± 1μm available ± 3μm to ± 5μm standard Rotary: Up to ± 2.1 arc-sec Output Analog Sine/Cosine and Index Window System Resolution The Mercury 1200 encoder is an analog 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. Using your interpolation electronics, engineers can achieve dramatic improvements in system speed, throughput, and reliability, while reducing cost, size and weight. The Mercury 1200 series kit encoders make it all possible. The analog output sensors can 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. OEMs that want to incorporate our interpolation electronics can contact MicroE for chip set or daughterboard solutions.

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.

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.
