Ready for anything — shock, vibration, pressures, temperature extremes, high speeds and acc/dec, even immersion — tough-guy RLS magnetic rotary encoders take on problem conditions with "fit and forget" reliability, go-anywhere versatility, and high performance at low cost. (read more)

The BKS/PKS/XKS Encoders are similar to the BTF/PRF wire draw encoders, but have a different mechanical design than our other wire draw encoders. The new encoders are directly mounted to the wire draw mechanism, eliminating additional accuracy deviations from a shaft coupling.

• The BKS wire draw encoders provide an absolute output, with a SSI interface.
• The PKS wire... (read more)

EPC, manufacturer of Accu-Coder™ brand encoders and a leader in encoder innovation, once again sets the pace for the encoder industry by revolutionizing the electrical connection standard for encoders. EPC now offers a 12mm (M12) connector, the connector of choice for many motion control components - such as proximity sensors and photoelectric switches - on most of its Accu-Coder™ encoders.

World's first 13-bit magnetic rotary sensors/encoders deliver high performance, reliability and application versatility at cost economies. The units provide 8192 counts/revolution with non-contact, zero-wear dependability at high speeds. Multiple outputs and choice of chip, chip on board, or packaged models bring advanced magnetic positioning precision to a vast range of applications. (read more)

FRABA is the only manufacturer to have an ODVA Certified EtherNet/IP absolute rotary encoder. The encoder can be either single turn, or multi-turn up to 30 bits with 16 bit resolution. Our encoder has an integrated web hub so that it can be connected directly to a PC. (read more)

Linear Encoder Advancements Make More Possible with Less

The photonics and semiconductor industries are very complex, and there is much interdependency. Machines related to both these industries (from fiber alignment stages to optical inspection systems) all have a few things in common despite th... (read more)

The ability to interface a position encoder to a ServoWire Drive can provide vital position information to the motion control system. This approach is simple, yet effective, because information for the "encoder axis" is available to be used in the same way that information is used from any "servo axis". (read more)

RESR and SiGNUM™ Optical Angle Encoders from Renishaw. Renishaw's high accuracy angle encoders are available in a large range of diameters and line counts to provide compatibility with standard controllers. Based on a one-piece stainless steel ring with axial graduations marked directly onto the periphery. Available in both standard or low inertia sections to suit a diverse ... (read more)

Avtron AV850 SMARTach II encoder has the first truely non-gapping magnetic sensor and rotor for installation on motors with a C-Face. (read more)

Rotary encoders serve as measuring sensors for rotary motion, and for linear motion when used in conjunction with mechanical measuring standards such as leadscrews. (read more)
