Motion control applications – ranging from factory automation to control systems for mobile machines – require precise, real-time information about the physical location of mechanical equipment. Absolute and incremental rotary encoders can provide precise and unambiguous measurements without losing track of their position due to a temporary loss of instrument power.
- Maintain Position Information When Power is Removed
- No Battery Multiturn – No Battery Changes Needed
- Stainless Steel Version Available
- High Shock and Vibration Resistance
IXARC Encoders Fundamentals:
– Absolute vs Incremental
– Magnetic and Optical Technology
– Protection Class
– Multiple Interface Options
Applications
Absolute and incremental encoders always ensure reliable positioning; they never require a reference run which increases the safety and efficiency of construction machines, wind turbines or solar plants. Their compact size makes them ideal also for healthcare equipment or factory automation.
