EtherNet/IP Absolute Multi-turn Encoder from AMCI
Terryville, CT – Advanced Micro Controls Inc. (AMCI), has released the NR25 series of heavy-duty EtherNet/IP DuraCoder® encoders. These networked rotary sensors provide an overall measuring range of 16 bits (single-turn resolution) plus 14 bits (number of revolutions), or 30 bits total. With both single-turn and multi-turn versions available, AMCI’s EtherNet/IP encoders are ready for […]
HBA4 Absolute Encoders from US Digital
US Digital announces the release of its latest absolute, blind hollow bore shaft encoder, the HBA4. HBA4 absolute encoders are used as azimuth and elevation position sensors in two axes tracking systems, commonly used in solar applications. This single turn absolute encoder provides 16-bits of resolution over 360 degrees of shaft rotation. The HBA4 is […]

Selection Guide for Encoders from SICK STEGMANN
DAYTON, OH – SICK STEGMANN, INC. has created a new Selection Guide for Encoders designed to help users quickly select the appropriate incremental, absolute, wire draw or linear encoder for their application. All SICK STEGMANN encoder options are narrowed down for diameter, shaft size, resolution, programmability, as well as electrical and mechanic interfaces. “Often the […]
TURCK Compact F36 Absolute Encoders
Minneapolis, MN — TURCK introduces the Kübler by TURCK F36 optical encoder series, designed completely without gears to eliminate wear and sensitivity to magnetic fields. F36 absolute encoders feature a compact size of only 36 mm with a hollow shaft diameter of up to 10 mm, making them well suited for drive engineering and medical […]
Leine & Linde Offers Robust Encoder with DeviceNet™
Strängnäs, Sweden – Leine & Linde is now introducing the availability of DeviceNet™ in the Leine & Linde 600 series, the highly robust ø 58 mm fieldbus encoder series. This support for fieldbus interfaces extends the range of applications for this already useful absolute rotary encoder. This Leine & Linde series supports 13-bit singleturn or […]
Absolute Encoders Go Wireless with SwiftComm
BEI Industrial Encoders introduces the SwiftComm Wireless Interface for SSI absolute encoders. Using SSI communications protocol at the transmitter and receiver end, users can connect the wireless receiver directly into the SSI port in the controller, just like a conventional wired system. The interface works with any SSI position device; single or multi-turn encoders, linear […]
Dual Encoder to USB Converter Module
BEI Industrial Encoders introduces the new Dual Encoder to USB Converter module. This module translates encoder position data to industry standard USB 2.0 format that can be accessed directly through a PC. Each module can handle signals from two SSI absolute encoders or two quadrature incremental encoders. An optional programmable data sample function allows users […]
