IXARC ABSOLUTE ROTARY ENCODERS

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
