Absolute multiturn encoders provide accurate feedback in rugged conditions

Celera Motion has launched a multiturn variant of its highly durable IncOder absolute encoders. The compact, through-hole encoder design now enables multiturn measurement for rotary-to-linear or geared rotary systems. The non-volatile turn count storage means that turn count is retained even under power loss. Inductive technology also provides measurement precision even in rugged environments.
