Technical FAQs — RSU3506 Bearingless Absolute Encoder

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 (*).
