    High-performance rotary encoders
    Machinedesign Com Sites Machinedesign com Files Uploads 2014 02 Fraba Ixarc Encoder
    IXARC rotary encoders combine the accuracy and dynamic response of optical encoders with the ruggedness and compact form factor of magnetic encoders.

    The encoders feature a new four-element Hall-effect magnetic sensor linked to a 32-bit microprocessor running highly optimized signal-processing software. The units survive dust, moisture, severe shock, and vibration loading. Microprocessor-centered design allows modifications to zero-point, rotational direction, and sensitivity through simple software updates. Dynamic response of the new measuring components makes it possible to offer both incremental and absolute versions.
