Same Sky’s Motion & Control Group has introduced the AMT absolute encoder family designed to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). These devices can be used in industrial, robotics, battery-powered, and automation applications.

The AMT25 series, based on Same Sky’s proprietary capacitive ASIC technology, offers the same levels of durability, accuracy, and immunity to environmental particulates as current AMT encoder models. These encoders output 12 bits or 14 bits of absolute position information with single-turn or multi-turn output options. They use full duplex serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication for high accuracy position data.
The absolute encoder series is housed in a compact modular package with a locking hub for ease of installation and radial or axial cable connections. Key specifications include low power consumption of 16 mA at 5 V, a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 105°C, and high accuracy of ±0.2 mechanical degrees. The digital AMT25 series also allows users to set the zero position via Same Sky’s AMT Viewpoint GUI or the encoder’s SPI protocol (single-turn versions only).
The AMT25 Series encoders are available from stock to eight weeks. Prices start at $50.31 per unit at 50 pieces through distribution. Also available is the AMT25-V kit with nine different sleeve bore sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm and simple mounting tools under a single SKU.
