Product overview
Sensors & brakes
We deliver encoders based on optical, magnetoresistive, hall-effect or inductive technology with a focus on high resolution and precision. Our program includes incremental encoders, absolute encoders, resolvers and tachometers.
Encoders for Accurate Motion Control
Our range includes incremental and absolute encoders, as well as resolvers and tachometers, ensuring reliable performance across various applications. Sensors are only available as part of a combination, as they are mounted directly onto motors through shafts. The installation process is carefully matched to each motor type and carried out at the factory.
Our Sensors helps ensure accurate control and smooth operation, matching varied industry needs without sacrificing reliability.
