POSITAL Through Hollow Incremental Rotary Encoders

POSITAL has extended its portfolio of rotary encoders with a new family of through hollow rotary incremental encoders. These devices are designed to be installed with the machine shaft passing through the sensor. They can be used to monitor rotary motion in a wide variety of machinery, including servomotors, material handling equipment and printing presses, offering cost-effective, space-saving solutions. They can be easily installed between the body of the motor and other components mounted on the shaft.
