Are inductive encoders susceptible to emissions from other sources?

Zettlex inductive encoders are generally not susceptible to emissions from other sources due to a number of factors: – the Receive circuits are arranged as balanced quadrupoles (thus negating the effect of incoming plane waves), the signal from the Target is at a highly specific frequency and the sensor uses synchronous detection.

Zettlex sensors are suitable for medical and SATCOM applications where permissible emission susceptibility is particularly stringent.

The IncOder product range is particularly robust in harsh EMC conditions because it is housed in a metal casing that acts as a Faraday cage.
