Manufacturer profiles associated with Position Sensor (Encoder/Interferometer).
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Encoders use optical, magnetic, or capacitive scales to measure position, while interferometers use laser interference patterns. Interferometers typically offer higher resolution (nanometer-level) but are more sensitive to environmental conditions.
Common output signals include TTL, HTL, SSI, and BISS. The choice depends on the controller interface; verify compatibility with your system.
The typical linear encoder range is 0–1000 mm, but longer ranges may be available on request. Confirm the required range with the manufacturer.
Operating temperature is -10 to 70 °C, protection rating is IP54–IP67, vibration resistance is 10–55 Hz, and shock resistance is 100–200 g. For harsh environments, check specific model ratings.
