Compact High‑Accuracy Absolute Rotary Encoder for Industrial Motion Systems

The RU77 is a compact, enclosed absolute rotary encoder designed for high‑accuracy angular position feedback in machine tools and industrial automation systems. Supports FANUC, Mitsubishi and Yaskawa protocols without requiring an external amplifier 

With a magnetic sensing system and robust enclosed design, the RU77 provides reliable performance in harsh environments while maintaining precise and stable measurement. 

Key features

  • High‑accuracy angular measurement – Delivers accuracy of ±2.5 arcseconds for precision positioning 
  • Ultra‑high resolution output – Up to 25‑bit resolution (33,554,432 pulses per revolution) 
  • Compact, space‑saving design – Slim enclosed structure (approx. 42 mm thick) allows installation in limited spaces 
  • Reliable in harsh environments – Magnetic detection operates reliably in oil, condensation and contamination 
  • Flexible mounting configuration – Internal coupling enables adaptable installation and alignment 
  • Direct CNC system integration – Supports FANUC, Mitsubishi and Yaskawa protocols without requiring an external amplifier 

How it works

The RU77 uses a magnetic, non‑contact absolute measurement principle within an enclosed housing:

  • Magnetic sensing ensures stable performance in industrial environments
  • Internal coupling accommodates mechanical tolerances and simplifies installation
  • Absolute signal output provides immediate position data without homing

This enables:

  • Reliable angular feedback
  • Reduced installation complexity
  • Consistent long‑term accuracy

Compatible systems

The RU77 integrates directly with major CNC and motion control platforms:

  • FANUC
  • Mitsubishi Electric
  • Yaskawa Electric 

Output is provided via absolute serial communication, simplifying system design.

Typical applications

  • CNC rotary axes and indexing systems
  • Machine tool spindle positioning
  • Automation and motion control systems
  • OEM machinery requiring compact encoder integration
  • Industrial environments with oil, vibration or contamination

Why choose RU77

  • Compact solution for high‑accuracy rotary feedback
  • Designed for real industrial conditions
  • Simplifies installation with internal coupling and enclosed design
  • Ideal where space, reliability and precision are critical
