Rotary Encoder
POSITAL Heavy Duty Magnetic Rotary Encoder
This multiturn absolute rotary encoder boasts a host of features that promises robustness against outdoor environments, making it ideal for use in mobile machinery. Compared to the other existing POSITAL magnetic rotary encoders, it has an enhanced housing and supports higher shaft loads. |
Heavy-duty rotary encoders: tough enough for offshore
POSITAL's heavy-duty absolute rotary encoders feature shock and vibration resistant magnetic measuring elements housed in rugged 316L stainless steel housings that make them ideal for use in harsh environments such as offshore facilities, seagoing vessels, construction equipment or military vehicles. |
Reliable Positioning for Solar Tracking Systems
To get the most benefit from a solar tracking system, designers and operators must pay careful attention to the cost of the components that make up the system, their maintenance requirements and their ability to operate reliably under hot, damp, dusty and windy conditions.

SSI Encoders for Unique Applications
The established optical absolute rotary encoders from POSITAL are available with SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface). SSI is an open platform that provides the user with a very flexible and efficient serial interface which enables the operation of up to 10 encoders on one data line. |
USB 2.0 real-time encoder interface adapter with BiSS and SSI for fast, interruption-free measurements
With the BiSS-to-PC USB adapter MB4U, a BiSS master with high-speed connection is now available for the first time ever, enabling bidirectional data exchange with the available device memory at the same time as the cyclic output of measurements. |
Magnetic Rotary Encoder with Analog Interface
POSITAL has come up with a robust non-contact encoder to replace old-fashioned geared potentiometers. Thanks to the contact-free recording of the angular position and revolution, the magnetic encoders from POSITAL are completely wear-free.

New BEI Sensors Selection Guide Covers Products, Environments and Technology for Motion Control
BEI Sensors has released a new product selection guide that explains the fundamentals of various speed and position sensing technologies and how to choose which is best suited to a particular application. BEI’s extensive line of rugged products include rotary encoders, rotary and linear potentiometers and rotary Hall effect sensors, all of which are displayed in easy-to-read charts that summarize the most critical specification criteria side-by-side. |
Maxon Motor’s encoder technology on board Mars rover Curiosity
The landing of the Mars rover Curiosity took seven exciting minutes. Now it will be looking for signs of life on the Red Planet. Maxon’s encoder technology will play a part in the successful excursion of the rover. |
HS35, HS25, H25, H20 Compatible Encoders
Industrial Encoder Corporation’s new product line responds to customers that have requested an expansion of the product line to provide North American sized encoders. The new products incorporate design features of IEC’s standard encoders which have earned wide respect in the industry. IEC’s encoders always use unbreakable optical disks, have oversized bearings in a rugged bearing assembly that is highly tolerant of misalignments and overloading, with a conservative electronic design utilizing a modern custom ASIC. |
POSITAL magnetic rotary encoder available with field-programmable analog output
POSITAL’s MAGNETOCODE (MCD) absolute rotary encoders with analog output (voltage or current) are an ideal alternative to single- or multi-turn potentiometers in systems that use analog instrumentation to measure and control rotary motion. |
