Presentation

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 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 Lost
Wiegand Technology means No Battery Backup Necessary – Never Change Batteries
Compact Size - Down to 36 mm Ø
Stainless Steel, ATEX and SIL Encoders Available
High Shock and Vibration Resistance

Singleturn Encoders

Singleturn encoders are providing a measurement range of 360 degrees (one turn).

Multiturn Encoders

Multiturn encoders provide a measurement range of more than 360 degrees by additionally measuring the number of revolutions.

Programmable Encoders

Incremental and absolute encoder functions on a common hardware platform.

Variety of Interfaces

Analog, CANopen, Profibus, DeviceNet, J1939, Interbus, EtherCAT, Ethernet/IP, ProfiNet, Powerlink, Modbus+Ethernet TCP, SSI

Encoders for Explosive Environments

ATEX-certified rotary encoders are designed to operate safely in atmospheres where there are potentially dangerous levels of explosive gases or dust.

Magnetic Encoders

Magnetic technology provides a compact, robust and cost-efficient angular sensing using an innovative multiturn technology and a Hall-sensor.

Optical Encoders

Optical technology is used by POSITAL since 1963 and provides maximum resolution and accuracy by scanning the position of a coded material.

Applications

IXARC absolute 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 for applications ranging from healthcare equipment to factory automation.
