New Kuebler Sendix 5000 and 5020 incremental encoders for outdoor use
Kuebler’s new Sendix 5000 and 5020 incremental encoders are designed to overcome two common threats to encoder lifecycle: heavy vibration loads and misalignment due to installation errors. The robust mechanical design integrates interlocked bearings, strengthened outer bearings and large bearing size relative to the size of the encoder. What’s more, the encoders’ solid die-cast housing, […]
How are complementary signals used to mitigate encoder noise?
Electrical noise is a common problem that occurs during the transmission of an incremental encoder’s signal to the receiving electronics, especially when the cable lengths are very long. Stray electromagnetic fields or currents induce unwanted voltages into the signal. These voltages can cause the receiver to make false counts, producing errors in the position or […]
IXARC encoders from POSITAL FRABA for hazardous locations
IXARC rotary encoders from POSITAL FRABA are dedicated to Zones 2 & 22 — ATEX compliant and operate safely in atmospheres with potentially dangerous levels of explosive gases or dust (3G and 3D). These devices can be delivered with either programmable incremental or absolute output. For Group II Applications Dedicated to Zone 2 & 22 Provide Absolute […]
Kit encoders using magnetic operation — now for closed-loop position and speed feedback
Christian Fell • POSITAL FRABA | Magnetic rotary-encoder technology is a staple for incremental and absolute motion tracking. Now some manufacturers are offering new encoder geometries based on the technology to give OEMs and machine builders flexibility in the way they incorporate measurement capabilities into products. The encoders don’t require the extreme cleanliness and assembly precision […]
