Incremental and Absolute Versions Available

Like other POSITAL products, the heavy-duty IXARC encoders are available in a wide variety of configurations. Incremental versions have resolutions (pulses per revolution) of up to 2500 PPR (pulses per revolution), while absolute versions are available with 16-bit resolution (.005°).Multi-turn variants of the absolute encoders have measurement ranges as high as 16,384 revolutions (14 bit). Other resolutions are also available for both incremental and absolute encoders.Incremental variants are available with Push-Pull (HTL) or RS422 (TTL) communications interfaces, while absolute models can be provided with either CANopen or SSI interfaces. Dual-function models are available that provide both incremental and absolute outputs.See all dual models here
