Introducing the New Slim Hollow Shaft Encoder for Compact Robotics and Motion Control Applications

This article was originally posted on Manufacturing Industry News and eMagazine - Recent News .

Summary
The IH520 Series is a slim, incremental hollow-shaft encoder built for compact robotics and motion control systems where space is tight and continuous operation is required. It offers a low axial profile, flange mounting, and a hollow-shaft design to simplify installation while delivering precise motion feedback.

For your compact designs, which matters most in an encoder: ultra-low profile, hollow-shaft passthrough, or mounting flexibility—and why?

On packaging machines the hollow-bore helps, but I worry about slip and alignment - what are the permissible axial/radial shaft tolerances, clamping torque, and max runout for the IH520? Do you have a washdown variant (IP67/IP69K, stainless, caustic-rated seals, M12) and an index channel + status LED to speed homing/diagnostics in incremental setups?
