Optical Encoder
Improved CANopen OpticalEncoder
Like all POSITAL optical encoders, the improved CANopen models use a tried and tested optoelectronic scanning method to record positional values. The singleturnmechanism provides a resolution of up to 16 bit per revolution and the multiturn units register a maxi-mum of 16,384 revolutions (14 bit), thereby covering an overall measuring range of 30 bit. |
Optical Rotary Encoder with EtherNet/IP Interface
POSITAL EtherNet/IP absolute rotary encoders have the performance and flexibilty to meet the needs of the ever changing industrial automation field. Installation is simplified by an integrated switch (to support daisy-chain or device-level ring (DLR)). |

US Digital Releases New EC35 Optical Commutation Encoder
US Digital introduces their latest in motion control solutions: the EC35 Optical Kit Commutation Encoder. The modular EC35 commutation encoder is a direct replacement for size 35 BLDC motor encoders presently on the market. |
MicroE Systems Now Supplying Encoders to Medical Industry Customers Requiring Traceability per ISO 13485
MicroE Systems announces capability to manufacture optical encoders for medical industry customers who require ISO 13485 traceability of key components. The company’s manufacturing facility in Bedford, MA, USA, achieves the rigorous traceability via its recent ISO 13485:2003 certification. The certification requires MicroE Systems to demonstrate and maintain a comprehensive quality management system that includes traceability of the encoder systems produced and the components used in their manufacture. |
BEI Releases UL & ATEX rated Explosion Proof Hollow Shaft Encoder
BEI Sensors has released the industry’s first UL and ATEX rated explosion proof hollow shaft encoder, Model HS52. BEI has developed this ultra rugged and space-saving industrial encoder to meet the high standards and certifications required for use in potentially explosive environments. |
