The DS-90 is a high precision, absolute position rotary electric encoder based on Netzer Precision's proprietary technology. It has many advantages such as a low profile, no bearings or contacts, high resolution, and tolerance to temperature extremes and interference. The encoder uses electric fields to determine position in a contactless manner, providing 19-bit angular resolution. It can output position data digitally over SSI or BiSS-C interfaces and includes software for setup and monitoring.
