Broader Alignment Tolerances,
Increased Standoff Clearance, Smallest Sensor and More

making it easy to fit into your design. This reduction can also cut total
stages. Safe system operation is also enhanced thanks to Mercury’s
M M e e r r c c u u r r y y
And its standoff tolerance is 50% greater than the best alternative.
Mercury’s sensor height is 44% shorter than competitive encoders,
system weight and cost by allowing the use of smaller motors and
generous standoff clearance– 200% greater than other encoders.
Mercury Can Reduce System Size and Cost
This significantly relaxes mechanical system tolerances,

Eliminate the Frustration of Touchy
Encoder Alignment
Mercury Solves this Problem for Good
Fussy alignment is no longer a concern. With Mercury’s
patented PurePrecision
electronics and LED alignment indicators, you can push the
sensor against your reference surface, tighten the screws and
you’re finished. Try that with brand X or Y.
This performance is possible thanks to relaxed alignment
tolerances, particularly in the theta Z axis. Mercury offers a
± 2° sweet spot– that’s a 300% improvement over the best
competitive encoder. And that will result in dramatic savings
in manufacturing costs.
No other commercially available encoder is easier to align,
easier to use, or easier to integrate into your designs.
