Incremental Rotary Encoders

As material handling systems become faster and more automated, conveyor technology requires increasingly precise synchronization and position control. Encoders play a critical role in monitoring belt speed, transported length, and shaft position to ensure reliable and efficient operation throughout production and logistics environments.

For operating environments where abundant moisture, corrosive or caustic agents are present, EPC offers encoders with housings made of 316 stainless steel. With bearings rated for loads up to 80 lbs axial/radial and IP67 sealing, EPC’s stainless steel encoders are suitable for harsh industrial applications. Read more...

Rotary Incremental vs. Rotary Absolute Encoders

Rotary encoders come in two main types: absolute and incremental.

• Absolute encoders assign a unique code to every shaft position, so the exact position is known immediately at power-up—no homing or reference moves required.
• Incremental encoders generate repeating

EPC's Accu-CoderPro® programmable encoders are specifically designed for the challenges of an industrial environment. Contained within the rugged, industrial housing is an advanced set of electronics that allow the encoders to be programmed to your exact application needs. Choose from 6 different output types, 32 different waveforms, and program any resolution from 1 to 65,536 CPR

With the launch of the IEP3, FAULHABER expands its product line with an incremental encoder which, thanks to the latest chip technology, achieves a very high resolution and accuracy. Read more...

Performance, Reliability, and Adaptability

Few applications present a tougher challenge for sensors than those in the oil and gas industry. High temperature and pressure, potentially explosive environments, extreme vibration, shock, dirt and moisture are all part of the daily working environment. Position... Read more...

Compact Magnetic Rotary Encoders from Gurley Precision.

The series M122 magnetic rotary encoders are designed for light industrial applications that require up to thirteen bits of resolution (8192 words or counts/turn) in a very small package.

The four models share these features:

• Shafted & non-contact, frictionless; bi-directional<.../li>

The Model H20 is a compact encoder designed to economically fill the resolution range up to 10,000 cycles per turn. This compact unit features a precision disc, precision ball bearings and EMI shielding.

The encoder meets IP66 sealing requirements when ordered with the shaft seal and one of the available connectors. Read more...
