SFD-M

With the integrated SFD-M device providing multi-turn absolute feedback to the highly responsive drive, customers can expect positioning performance comparable to Hiperface® or EnDat® feedback—without added cost.

  • Single-turn resolution of 24 bits and multi-turn resolution of 16 bits
  • Energy-harvesting technology eliminates the need for battery backup cables, which eliminates costly setbacks from unplanned downtime due to battery failure, retaining absolute positioning information even when the system is powered down or during a power outage or shutdown
  • Onboard memory enables plug-and-play parameterization of the motor to compatible Kollmorgen drives reducing setup time and enabling faster commissioning
