CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to the product directory, position encoders offer resolutions from 0.001 to 0.01 mm, accuracies of ±0.005 to ±0.02 mm, and repeatability of ±0.002 to ±0.01 mm. These are reference ranges; actual values depend on the specific model and application. Always verify with the manufacturer.
Position encoders support TTL, HTL, SSI, Profibus, and CANopen output signals. This allows integration with various control systems. The choice of output signal depends on the controller's interface requirements.
Position encoders operate in temperatures from -20°C to +85°C and have protection classes from IP54 to IP67 per IEC 60529. This makes them suitable for dusty or wet environments, but the specific IP rating should be confirmed for the intended application.
Consider the required resolution, accuracy, measuring length (for linear) or shaft speed (for rotary), output signal compatibility, and environmental conditions. Also check shaft diameter and weight. Always verify model-specific parameters with the manufacturer or supplier.
