IXARC ABSOLUTE ROTARY ENCODERS

Motion control applications – ranging from factory automation to control systems for mobile machines – require precise, real-time information about the physical location of mechanical equipment. Absolute rotary encoders can provide precise and unambiguous measurements without losing track of their position due to a temporary loss of instrument power.

  • Maintain Position Information When Power is Lost
  • Wiegand Technology means No Battery Backup Necessary – Never Change Batteries
  • Compact Size - Down to 36 mm Ø
  • Stainless Steel, ATEX and SIL Encoders Available
  • High Shock and Vibration Resistance
     

IXARC Absolute Rotary Encoders – FAQ

  1. What are IXARC Absolute Rotary Encoders?
    IXARC Absolute Rotary Encoders are high-precision sensors designed for motion control applications in factory automation, mobile machines, and other systems. They provide precise, real-time position feedback that remains unambiguous even if power is temporarily lost.

  2. How do they maintain position information when power is lost?
    They utilize Wiegand Technology, which allows the encoder to retain absolute position information without the need for battery backup—eliminating the hassle of battery changes.

  3. What are the key physical features?

    • Compact Size: Available in very compact designs, with diameters down to 36 mm.
    • Robust Construction: Options include stainless steel for enhanced durability.
    • ATEX and SIL Rated: Models are available with certifications for hazardous areas (ATEX) and high safety integrity levels (SIL).
  4. What environmental conditions can they withstand?
    These encoders are designed to perform in harsh conditions with high shock and vibration resistance, ensuring reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.

  5. What applications are these encoders suited for?
    They are ideal for motion control applications that require precise, reliable, and continuous position feedback—such as factory automation systems, mobile machinery, and other critical control systems.
