Joral LLC now has a new method to impart total encapsulation in its J1 electronic components. Specially crafted to ensure total protection from extreme temperature fluctuation, intense machine vibration, and pressure wash down, the Joral J1 line-shafted rotary encoders perform rotary motion feedback for industry, ranging from directional drilling rigs to timber harvesters.

The new IP69k electrical protection and encapsulation process now available for J1 line shafted rotary encoders is comperable to that of the newly released ProxEncoder noncontact rotary encoder. The Joral encoders in the J1 Line come in J1939, voltage, and quadrature outputs, and other versions.

Prototyped on a FDM 3D printer, the new encapsulation method creates a fully protected electronics package, which creates an environmental barrier between the J1 Line Encoder’s shaft and bearing package. The new IP69k encapsulation is available immediately as a standard production item. Visit www.JoralLLC.com for more information on totally encapsulated J1 rotary encoders — as well as customizable connections and various output options.

Connection options include terminal, block, M12, M12 Pigtail, flying lead cable, M8, and Deutsch connectors.

Features of the totally encapsulated J1 rotary encoders

• Totally encapsulated electronics (IP69k); shaft seal available for IP68 housing protection (IP67 standard)
• Absolute multi-turn capable and rated MIL-STD 202 for shock and vibration
• From the manufacturer of the PE18 ProxEncoder
• Available outputs include quadrature, CAN J1939, PWM, analog, and more
• Customizable connector options available

Founded in 2005, Joral LLC is the culmination of a long history of development in encoder and sensor technology by companies including Joral Devices, Joral Computer Services, and GS Global Resources. Today, Joral develops and manufactures harsh-duty electronic devices for mobile hydraulics and industrial applications. Joral has redefined the “rugged duty” position sensor by introducing protection methods such as total electronic package encapsulation, LED status indicators, and patented true non-contact coupling. For more information, visit www.joralllc.com or email sales@joralllc.com.
