AndyMark Hex Bore Encoder

The AndyMark Hex Bore Absolute Encoder provides high-resolution, true absolute position feedback in a compact, robot-ready form factor. Designed around the AS5047P magnetic encoder IC, this sensor delivers immediate absolute position on power-up with no homing required.

With a 1/2 in hex bore, optional 3/8 in hex insert, factory-aligned zero position, and multiple output options, the Hex Bore Absolute Encoder is ideal for arms, elevators, wrists, swerve modules, and other mechanisms requiring accurate angular feedback.
