Size matters, and in the world of industrial automation, providing exceptional performance in a highly compact package can be an enormous advantage. With this in mind, encoder manufacturer Posital has unveiled a fully functional prototype of their new miniature multi-turn kit encoder for integrated motor feedback. With a diameter of only 22 mm and a […]
POSITAL prototype of world’s smallest multi-turn absolute kit encoder unveiled
In the world of industrial automation, providing exceptional performance in a highly compact package can be an enormous advantage. So encoder manufacturer POSITAL has unveiled a fully functional prototype of their new miniature multi-turn kit encoder for integrated motor feedback. With a diameter of only 22 mm and a height of 23 mm (0.87 in.) […]
POSITAL-FRABA multi-turn hollow shaft kit encoders — Rockwell Encompass Complementary Products
POSTIAL-FRABA’s new hollow-shaft kit encoders are now a complementary product in Rockwell Automation’s PartnerNetwork Encompass program. These new products mark a significant innovation for industrial motion control. Until now, almost all through or hollow-shaft encoders have been limited to a single-turn measurement range, largely because fully satisfactory multi-turn technology has been not been available. POSITAL […]
POSITAL Motor Feedback Kit Encoders — now with open-source BiSS interface
Rotary encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its interface offerings for its magnetic Kit Encoders with support for the nonproprietary open-source BiSS Line communication protocol. This enables the practical implementation of single-cable technology, which is becoming increasingly popular with motor and robot manufacturers. POSITAL’s easy-to-install motor feedback kits, which feature 17-bit electronic resolution, bridge the gap […]
CANopen interface on precision magnetic encoders from POSITAL
POSITAL’s IXARC high-precision magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with CANopen interfaces. These new interface option is in addition to the previously announced SSI, EtherNet/IP, EtherCat, Powerlink, Profbus DP and Profinet interfaces. Together, this range of interface choices makes the rugged and compact IXARC encoders one of the most versatile devices of its type […]
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 […]
POSITAL-FRABA now sells multiturn kit encoders for cost-effective feedback
POSITAL’s new kit encoders give manufacturers of servomotors and other machinery an accurate and rugged option for including rotary-position measurement in designs. At the core of these new kits are POSITAL’s self-contained magnetic rotary encoders. But now the core components of these sensor assemblies come separate to facilitate easy integration into other products. • Electrical Resolution is 17-bit Singleturn — and up to 32-bit […]
