Use single turn encoders when
the full range of positions in the
application occurs within one full
revolution (360º) of the encoder
shaft. Multi-turn encoders are
recommended for applications
involving multiple revolutions of
the encoder shaft.
In Stegmann multi-turn
encoders, a high precision,
miniaturized gear train, with a
magnet on each gear stage, is
used to mechanically store
position information over as
many as 8,192 turns. The
position of each gear stage is
determined with a pair of Hall
sensors. This eliminates the
need for costly and often
unreliable counters and battery
back up systems. Also, position
changes that occur while the
power is off are automatically
tracked.
