AMT Series Stepping System Encoders ... New!

AMT series encoders from CUI Devices are advanced capacitive encoders with a variety of uses. AMT series encoders are typically mounted to the back of a stepper motor but can be used in many other applications. CUI offers the AMT series encoders with configurable pulses per revolution (PPR). The PPR can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software. The AMT10 family of encoders are configured using DIP switches. All AMT incremental encoders have quadrature output signals and are available in single-ended (totem-pole) and line driver output models.

Replacement Stepper Encoders

The AMT112Q-V is a replacement for the encoder that comes pre-mounted on the STP-MTR(x)-xxxxE step motors.
Step motor part numbers that end in E have encoders pre-mounted on the rear shaft.
Step motors that end in D are the same motors, without the pre-mounted encoders.
For a different encoder, purchase the D model step motor and the encoder separately.
Installation tools and mounting hardware are included with all CUI Devices brand AMT series replacement encoders.

Optional Stepper Encoders

Optional encoders can be purchased separately for standard integrated motor/drives and standalone dual-shaft motors in all NEMA 14, 17, 23, 34, and 42 motors.
All D model (dual-shaft) SureStep motors come with pre-drilled holes in the rear end cap for easy modular encoder mounting.
Pre-installed encoders on standalone dual-shaft motors and standard integrated motor/drives can be retrofitted with an appropriate optional encoder if desired.

Stepper Encoder Configuration Utility

For software configurable encoders (AMT11, AMT31, AMT13, and AMT33)

AMT Viewpoint autodetects the encoder and allows PPR selection from 40 to 4096 ppr
AMT Viewpoint PC software utility connects to encoder using the AMT-PGRM-17C and AMT-PGRM-18C cables
Z Pulse alignment can also be accomplished by clicking the align button
All AMT encoders come with multiple adapter sleeves to accommodate different motor shaft diameters

The encoder configuration software utility is a Free Download

Note: AMT incremental encoders have a quadrature output. So, 4096ppr results in 4 x 4096 = 16,384 resolution for a PLC.
