Make your axes strong against lateral loads and cogging torques

What do you get when you combine a HEIDENHAIN MRP angle encoder module with a torque motor from ETEL? Silky smooth motion control. Lateral loads and cogging torques have no effect on the bearing's guideway accuracy.

For a compact, flat-profile system with high rigidity, consider the SRP 5000 angle encoder modules. All components feature high rigidity for dependable accuracy under changing loads. See for yourself with our demo unit, which compares the rigidity, system accuracy and radial guideway accuracy between an SRP 5000 and a conventional bearing.
