Avtron specialises in the design and manufacture of rugged industrial encoders that are suitable to a wide range of industries and heavy-duty requirements. Avtron encoders are used in oil and gas drilling, light duty conveyors, heavy mining, cranes, marine environments, and metal production applications, to name a few.If you are looking for a particular type of Avtron encoder, you may wish to contact one of our experts to identify what you need, and ensure you are getting the right fit for your application. Types of Avtron Heavy-duty Encoders Solid Shaft Encoders AV125 are heavy mill duty

Straddle carriers are specialised vehicles designed to lift, transport, and place large, heavy loads with remarkable agility. In precast concrete factories, these machines shine when it comes to handling box girders and other substantial concrete elements. By navigating complex factory environments, and positioning heavy elements with extraordinary precision, this helps reduce manual handling risks. To ensure the utmost accuracy in lifting and placing these massive concrete components, straddle carriers rely on encoders. Each straddle carrier is equipped with at least two POSITAL UCD encoders

When you spot a garbage truck making its rounds in your neighbourhood, you might not think twice about the technology behind its operations. However, hidden within the arms that lift and empty refuse bins are advanced devices known as magnetic rotary encoders. These encoders play a crucial role in ensuring that the collection process is efficient and precise. Here’s how they contribute: Arm Control and Positioning Encoders are installed on the arms that lift and empty refuse bins. They provide accurate feedback on the position and movement of these arms, allowing for precise control when

Has your building elevator broke down? Crane hoist or conveyor belt needs turning but you can’t identify your existing encoder? We know how overwhelming it can sometimes be to find a replacement encoder. There are countless types for many different applications that making a mistake is most likely if you don’t know what you are looking for.Worry not, ADM can help! We have a team of encoder experts that can identify what you are looking for. We recently supported a customer who sent us a photo of a PCA incremental shaft encoder clearly showing the part number. From there, our team was able to

Encoders serve as the eyes and ears of vehicle’s positioning systems, providing accurate feedback on position, speed, and orientation. POSITAL's IXARC UCD Profinet encoders utilise advanced magnetic technology, which offers several advantages over traditional optical encoders.

Mounting conventional encoders within the confines of small industrial automation machines, such as robotics and drones, can be extremely difficult. But, like most things, it may be about finding the right tool for the right job. PCA Encoders stocks a range of W&S Miniature encoders suited to make the right fit for the confines of small machines, with three miniature encoder solutions: 24mm IS240 Incremental Miniature Encoder 28mm IS280 Incremental Miniature Encoder 36mm IH360 Incremental Miniature Encoder The IS240 Incremental Shafted Miniature Encoder The smallest encoder within the W&S

Complementary Products for Seamless Integration POSITAL takes pride in developing cutting-edge products that seamlessly integrate with Rockwell Automation systems. Their rotary encoders and inclinometers utilise Rockwell communication protocols such as Ethernet IP and DeviceNet, ensuring a smooth and efficient

The Encoder-LAB02 is a dual-purpose instrument for quadrature incremental encoders with square wave outputs..The Encoder-LAB02 provides users with useable insight quickly and reliably both as a tester for encoders and from the encoder simulation modes within the unit itself and can provide greater detail n connected to a PC to utilise the EncoderLAB software. EncoderLab Simulation Modes. The encoder provides a simulation function that gives users the ability to test other instruments and systems that require encoder signals without having the mechanical means that typically generate those

The existing encoder signal distributors (encoder splitters) from Motrona will be gradually phased out over the next 12 months or so.Motrona are releasing a new product range with more features in a compact, convenient, DIN rail mountable unit. Extensive Range There are now two types of encoder signal distributors available: The GV series without signal isolation The GT series with signal isolation The following standard devices are now available: GV222: Pulse splitter with 2 outputs, short-circuit proof encoder supply, GV224: Pulse splitter with 4 outputs, short-circuit proof encoder supply

In this blog post we discuss the factors that you need to take into consideraton when selecting encoder couplings, and the types of couplings available.ADM recommends using a 4-step approach when deciding what encoder coupling to use in an encoder application. Type – the type of coupling should be chosen first. The physical characteristics particular to the application should be considered when choosing the type of coupling. Material – the environment of operation is the main factor in driving this decision Size – the dimensions of the two shafts being coupled together, along with the distance
