POSITAL has expanded its portfolio of rotary encoders and inclinometers (tilt sensors) to include more devices with IP69K level environmental protection. These sensors, which are designed to stand up to repeated exposure to the hot, high-temperature water jets used in pressure washing systems, are now available with a wider range of mechanical options and communications interfaces. In the case of encoders, this includes more shaft diameters and more flange types – hub and square. For both encoders and inclinometers, the range of available interfaces now includes analog, CANopen, J1939, SSI, Modbus and IO-Link. Incremental encodes are also available with HTL/TTL serial interfaces.
“Pressure washing is an important part of the maintenance process in many industries”, comments Christian Fell, head of POSITAL’s North American operations. “It’s used to clean up heavy equipment for construction and agriculture, to sanitize food processing machinery and in many other situations.” By supplying position and motion sensors capable of withstanding this harsh treatment, POSITAL helps OEMs and system integrators ensure that the equipment they build can meet the highest standards for reliability, maintainability and long service lives.

IP69K Rating
Created by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the globally accepted IP (Ingress ¬Protection) rating system classifies the degree of protection provided to a device’s internal components. To qualify for a rating of IP69K, a device must be able to withstand a high pressure (10,000 kPa/1450 psi), high temperature (176 °F/ 80 °C) water spray for at least two minutes.
