REXM high accuracy angle encoder

For applications that require the highest angular accuracy, the REXM angle encoder offers new levels of angular metrology - better than ±1 arc second total installed accuracy, zero coupling losses and exceptional repeatability.

Like Renishaw's RESM ring encoder, the REXM stainless steel ring has graduations marked directly onto the periphery. However, it features a thicker cross-section designed to minimise all installation errors except eccentricity.
