February 19, 2014 - Posital announces IXARC incremental rotary encoders, available in thousands of configurations with HTL (Push-Pull) or TTL (RS422) interfaces, different types of electrical connectors and a wide range of shaft and flange diameters. Heavy-duty models with IP69K-rated housings and seals can stand up to wet and dirty environments – even repeated exposure to water jets from pressure washers. Incremental encoders generate output signals each time the shaft rotates a certain amount. They are often used in motor controls and other applications where speed measurement is critical. To do this well, incremental encoders need to have excellent dynamic response.
While, traditionally, magnetic encoders did not provide adequate performance for these tasks, POSITAL has overcome this shortcoming. The company’s new generation of magnetic encoders feature advanced signal processing software running on powerful 32-bit microprocessors. This results in incremental encoders matching the performance of larger, more complex optical encoders – all in a sturdy, compact, cost effective package.
