Encoders Rival Tradition

POSITAL’s IXARC high-precision magnetic absolute rotary encoders are now available with CANopen interfaces. With the recent influx of interface additions, POSITAL's absolute rotary encoders are the most versatile devices of its type on the market.

POSITAL has rivaled traditional optical encoders by improving magnetic field measurement sensors and adding advanced signal processing techniques. Single- and multi-turn models are available. For multi-turn versions, the rotation counter is self-powered, with no need for backup batteries.

IXARC encoders with the CANopen communications interface are an excellent choice for applications in vehicles, mobile machinery, cranes, lifts and offshore equipment. The communication interface features the autobaud function, so these encoders can be directly connected to a CANopen network without the need to manually set transmission speeds. A variety of connection options are available, including cables of various lengths and radially or axially oriented M12 or M23 connectors.
