Incremental Functional Safety Encoder

Rotary Encoders

Rotary encoders, coupled to rotating equipment, provide a digital feedback signal to a controller.

Linear Encoders

Based on an inductive principle, these linear sensors are well sealed and especially rugged.

Inclinometer Tilt Sensors

Tilt sensors indicate an angular position relative to the local gravity vector.

Draw Wire Sensors

Draw Wires have a wire spool attached to a rotary sensor; this converts the wire length into a value on the sensor.

DROs

DROs or Digital Readouts give a visual, numerical indication of position when used with a linear encoder.
