RLS launches dual-concentric AksIM-4 encoder for robot joints
RLS launched the ultra-thin AksIM-4 Dual Concentric magnetic encoder, integrating motor and joint position feedback in one device for compact robotic joints.

Evidence notes
- Two absolute encoders share a low-profile off-axis package, reducing component count and cabling inside humanoid and advanced automation joints.
- The design provides motor and joint feedback while retaining the accuracy, reliability and long-term stability of the AksIM platform.
- Standard-connector and board-to-board versions support different servo-drive architectures, and product samples were available at launch.
Company context
RLS designs and manufactures magnetic encoder ICs, rotary encoders, linear encoders, interpolator ICs and related motion-sensing components.
