Measure Up to the MERCURY™ ENCODER CHALLENGE?


When you’re designing a motion platform for higher resolution, higher speed, higher accuracy and lower cost, encoder choice is critical. That’s why OEM’s around the world specify Mercury™ encoder technology.


The original Mercury series is still the small sensor winner at 8.4mm tall. It’s the king of speed, at up to 7.2m/s with 5nm resolution. And, it’s the smartest, with programmable resolution and setup in under 30 seconds.


Now we’ve set a whole new standard with the Mercury II™ series. Mercury II has the smallest sensor with up to 1.2nm resolution. The sensor works with metal tape, linear and rotary glass scales. Cut-to-length metal tape with stick-on index and limit markers reduces inventory costs. Low cyclic error, only ±20nm, ensures smooth velocity control. It’s simply the best value in the industry for performance and time-saving features.

Consider how your current motion feedback encoder stacks up...


The Original Mercury™ Encoder Family • 29 Models: Programmable, digital, analog, multi-axis, PCB mount, vacuum • Resolution: 5μm to 5nm linear, up to 67.1M CPR rotary • Tiny high performance sensor: 8.4mm tall • Broadest sensor alignment tolerance: ±2o theta Z


Mercury’s low Z-Height sensor, top, fits where other encoder sensors can’t.


±2o


Mercury’s broad alignment tolerances enable setup in 30 seconds - or less.


The Expanding Mercury II™ Encoder Family • 9 Models, and more to come: Programmable, digital, analog, vacuum • Highest resolution: 5μm to 1.2nm linear, up to 268M CPR rotary • Best short-range accuracy (lowest cyclic error): only ±20nm • Same sensor for metal tape, linear & rotary glass scales


• Save on inventory: 6mm-wide cut-to-length metal tape scale is available in 30m rolls


• Stick-on index and limit markers for greater versatility • High speed - up to 10m/s at 1.2nm resolution • Robustness to contamination & EMI
