The EPOCH RSU3506 is an ultra-flat bearingless (split-type) multi-turn absolute encoder with 17-24 bit selectable resolution and RS485 2.5MHz communication. Its compact 35mm form factor and approximately 12.5mm thickness make it suitable for space-constrained servo motor upgrades and modular encoder retrofit applications, including Nikon 35mm modular encoder replacements. Engineers should verify shaft bore dimensions, mounting configuration, and protocol requirements before specifying.
EPOCH is an independent encoder manufacturer. Verify all mechanical and electrical parameters before integration.
Q: What is a bearingless (split-type) absolute encoder?
A bearingless encoder has no internal bearing and uses a split-type design where the rotor and stator separate, allowing direct integration onto the motor shaft. This enables an ultra-flat profile (~12.5mm) ideal for space-constrained servo motor applications.
Q: What resolution options does the RSU3506 support?
The RSU3506 supports selectable single-turn resolution from 17-bit (131,072 steps) to 24-bit (16,777,216 steps) with a 16-bit multi-turn counter, selectable via the ordering code.
Q: What interface protocols are supported?
Standard RS485 at 2.5MHz. Nikon interface and BiSS protocol are available as customizable options (*).
