Posital IXARC incremental encoders

Click2Contact

The Posital IXARC incremental encoders are now available with a housing that features a cable entry angled at 45° to the device axis. This compact design combines features of both axial and radial cable entries in a single unit, providing the installer with more flexibility when laying out the connection cable.

The core magnetic measurement technology is said to be rugged and accurate, with high dynamic response. A wide variety of flange and shaft configurations is available, reducing the need for costly adaptors or workarounds. A water- and dust-tight grommet around the cable entry ensures that these devices meet IP65 level ingress protection. The housing is 36 mm in diameter and 32 mm long.

IXARC incremental encoders are programmable, and resolution can be set anywhere from one to 16,384 pulses/turn in software without requiring any changes to the mechanical properties of the device. Similarly, pulse direction and the output driver — either push-pull (HTL) or RS422 (TTL) — can be defined through software parameters. Changes can be made quickly in the field or in the shop using Posital’s UBIFAST programming tool.
