POSITAL’s new series of measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders turns them into linear position sensors. When one of the wheels is mounted on the shaft of an encoder, the result is an accurate and reliable instrument for measuring linear motion and position. The new measuring wheels are available in circumferences […]

Rotary encoder expedite program has same-day shipping
Baumer Ltd. announces same-day shipping for rotary incremental encoders. The HS35 series line of optical, 3.5-inch flange encoders with up to 1-inch hollow shaft design, allow for hundreds of thousands of configurations. These items can be shipped the same day for orders received by 12:00 PM Eastern Time, with no additional charges added for expediting. […]
Absolute redundant rotary encoder tracks angles and paths
By Mathias Roth, Branch Manager of Mobile Automation at SIKO • Edited by Lisa Eitel || Safety guidelines for mobile machines and their requirements have always influenced new mobile-machine builds. Now with the release of EN ISO 13849, new rules dictate how to reliably record angles and displacements. In fact, draft standards such as EN 13000 for mobile cranes […]
Rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN meet new standards for explosive environments
HEIDENHAIN’s ATEX series of encoders for potentially explosive atmospheres meet the new standards required today for motion control applications. These HEIDENHAIN ExN and ROx 400 rotary encoders feature a sturdy design with increased wall thickness, smaller cable diameter, and variations for multiple zones and atmosphere classifications. Many industries, such as oil and gas, printing, and […]
FAQ: What’s the difference between single and multi-turn rotary encoders?
Absolute rotary encoders output precise position information—even after a power-off condition—by assigning a unique digital value, or “word,” to each shaft position. But in applications where the encoder makes more than one revolution during the process, there is no way to know how many turns it has completed. At least not with the traditional type […]
IXARC rotary encoders with EtherCAT interface
POSITAL’s high-performance IXARC optical rotary encoders are now available with EtherCAT communications interfaces. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a special form of industrial Ethernet that eliminates the unpredictable transmission delays that characterize ‘standard’ Ethernet networks. EtherCAT networks ensure very rapid communications between a controller and other devices within a control system so that […]
Netzers New DS-25 Lightweight Miniature Absolute Rotary Encoder
Rotary Electric Encoders™ from Netzer provide exceptionally accurate, high resolution, absolute position with miniature to wide diameter hollow shaft and are available with analog or digital outputs. The holistic structure of the Electric Encoder™ provides generous mounting tolerance, thus obviating the need for internal ball bearings. The lack of bearings and components such as flexible […]
New Absolute Rotary Encoders with Functional Safety
As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does HEIDENHAINs component product offerings. Now new to the market are HEIDENHAINs ROx 400 absolute rotary encoders, available in a functionally safe design including a mechanical fault exclusion for the shaft. Both the synchro and clamping flange versions passed the type testing from TÜV Süd, […]
