Absolute Rotary Encoders for Harsh Environments

Our electrical encoders meet the requirements for use in a wide variety of harsh environment applications, including space, avionics, and defense. The absolute rotary encoders, contactless core with its holistic structure is extremely durable and resistant to vibration and shock. The low profile, hollow shaft structure, suits compact, high-density designs.

The Ultimate Position Sensor

The encoder is designed for various applications, starting from industrial automation and robotics, through surveillance, military and defense to avionic and space.

The product range of the absolute-position, rotary electric encoders, is characterized by high accuracy, low profile, hollow shaft geometry, and remarkable low weight and inertia. The unique encoder technology and design enables extreme environmental conditions of shock and vibration resistance while maintaining the accuracy with extremely high reliability.

Among the cutting-edge features: Zero magnetic signature, insensitivity to EMI/RFI and magnetic fields, low weight, low inertia, and narrow profile (≤10 mm). The electrical encoder will provide with reliable data for rotary positioning in your application.
