TAMAGAWA encoder series introduction for precision control

TAMAGAWA (Tamagawa Seiki Co., Ltd.) is a renowned Japanese manufacturer of precision motors and sensors, established in 1938. Its encoders are known for high accuracy, reliability, and durability, widely used in industrial automation, robotics, CNC machine tools, servo systems, and other fields. TAMAGAWA offers a comprehensive range of encoders from standard to ultra-high precision models, such as 24-bit absolute encoders, which are ideal for precision control applications.

Key Features:

High Precision: Resolution ranges from standard to ultra-high precision (e.g., 24-bit absolute encoders).

Diverse Interfaces: Supports incremental (A/B/Z phase) and absolute (SSI, BiSS-C, serial communication, etc.) outputs.

Robust Design: Vibration-resistant, dustproof, and oil-resistant (some models feature IP65/IP67 protection).

Versatile Mounting: Compatible with hollow shaft, solid shaft, and flange-mounted mechanical structures.

Main Model Series of TAMAGAWA encoder

Below are representative TAMAGAWA encoder models (covering various series and applications):

1. Incremental Encoders

TS5700N: Standard incremental type, up to 5000 PPR resolution, cost-effective.

TS5660N: High resolution (10,000 PPR), suitable for servo motors.

TS5210: Compact incremental encoder, ideal for space-constrained applications.

2. Absolute Encoders

TS5660C: Single-turn absolute (12–16 bits), supports SSI or parallel output.

TS5800: Multi-turn absolute (16-bit single-turn + 12-bit multi-turn), BiSS-C interface.

TS5500: High-resolution absolute (24-bit), designed for precision positioning systems.

3. Hollow Shaft/Servo-Specific Encoders

TS4600: Hollow shaft design (6–15mm bore), for direct motor mounting.

TS70: Ultra-thin hollow shaft encoder, saves installation space.

4. Special Environment Encoders
