IXARC HYBRID ENCODER 

 

Incremental and Absolute Functionality in a Single Device

POSITAL introduces new members of its IXARC family of rotary encoders that combine incremental and absolute rotation measurement capabilities in a single, compact package.

The combination of both measurement capabilities in a single device provides control system designers with extra flexibility. Moreover, the incremental signal can be used as a “heartbeat” that confirms that the sensor is functioning normally.

  • Easy to Program with UBIFAST Configuration Tool
  • Wide range of mechanical configurations and connector types
  • Contact-free Measurement
  • Any PPR up to 16384 Available
  • Compact Size down to 36 mm Diameter
  • Real-Time 16 bit Resolution
  • Parameters to Program: PPR, Resolution, Number of Turns, Direction
  •  

Absolute and Incremental Rotary Encoders

Absolute encoders provide the control system with an accurate report of the rotational angle and number of complete rotations of the encoder shaft at a specific point in time, they are an ideal solution for many machinery positioning tasks.
