FLUX GMI-ROT-096 Frameless GMI® Absolute Rotary Encoder (96 mm OD / 67.20 mm Bore)
Ultra-low-profile (7.8 mm) frameless GMI® absolute rotary encoder with 96 mm OD, 67.20 mm through-bore, 6,000 rpm rating, Up to 23-bit resolution, and IP67 protection. Supplied across the United Kingdom by Torquety Ltd with application engineering review, 3D STEP CAD support, and commercial quotations in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
Technical Overview: GMI-ROT-096
The FLUX GMI-ROT-096 is a compact, low-profile frameless Giant Magneto-Impedance (GMI®) absolute rotary encoder designed for high-speed hollow-shaft servo actuators, collaborative robotic joints, and direct-drive frameless motors. Measuring 96 mm in outer diameter with a 67.20 mm hollow shaft bore and an installed axial thickness of just 7.8 mm (8.0 mm installed), the GMI-ROT-096 provides maintenance-free non-contact sensing sealed to IP67.
Operating at continuous speeds up to 6,000 rpm across a 4.35 VDC to 36 VDC input voltage range, the GMI-ROT-096 delivers Up to 23-bit single-turn resolution and ±18 arcsec (±0.0050°) standard accuracy (±10 arcsec (±0.0028°) with High-Accuracy Option C). Available through Unlike optical glass-scale encoders that suffer catastrophic signal loss from condensation, oil mist, or mechanical shock—and unlike conventional Hall-effect magnetic sensors limited by magnetic hysteresis—FLUX patented Giant Magneto-Impedance (GMI®) physics couples amorphous ferromagnetic micro-wires with 360° holistic rotor scanning to cancel radial eccentricity errors automatically.
Mechanically engineered for compact axial envelopes (96 mm envelope, frameless geometry, low axial stack), the GMI-ROT-096 installs directly onto hollow-shaft actuators, rotary tables, and gimbals without dedicated encoder bearings or wear-prone couplings. Supplied across Great Britain by TORQUETY LTD (UK Company No. 17124704, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JQ & Oxford Engineering Desk +44 1865 679185), every unit is backed by local UK application engineering, 3D STEP CAD integration review, and tailored commercial quotations in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
