IXARC Absolute Encoders

Advanced Technology for Superior Position Feedback

Looking for a precise and reliable sensing solution? Absolute rotary encoders provide unique position values from the moment they are switched on, even for movements that occur while the system is without power. They come in single-turn and multi-turn variations with different resolutions and communication interfaces, and thousands of mechanical and connection configurations to choose from. POSITAL absolute encoders offer increased accuracy and reliability, making them suitable for various applications.
