Capacitive Technology

CUI Inc has developed a unique and versatile modular rotary encoder. The AMT utilizes CUI’s proprietary capacitive technology, which holds numerous advantages over the optical technology typically used in today’s modular encoders.

The AMT’s design allows users to select from a range of resolutions via an on-board dip switch, creating flexibility for those utilizing multiple encoders in their applications.

Additionally, common problems associated with optical encoders, including fragility of the optical disk, LED burn-out, limited temperature range, and high current consumption are eliminated by capacitive technology.
