Whether it’s a feedback solution for a small stepper motor, a rugged shaft encoder with 95 lbs bearing loads, or a precision measuring wheel, EPC has a variety of products to meet your needs.
Incremental encoders provide position information for a rotating shaft by producing a continuous series of pulses. These pulses correspond to increments of resolution on the code disk. Incremental thru-bore and hollow-bore encoders are designed to mount directly to a rotating shaft which passes through the encoder. A flexible tether mount keeps the encoder from rotating with the shaft and absorbs shaft run-out or endplay, minimizing loads on the encoder bearings. Motor-mount style encoders feature a machined housing that attaches a hollow-bore encoder to the NEMA frame motor. To meet varied industrial feedback requirements, EPC offers a broad range of incremental thru-bore and motor mount encoders.
Incremental encoders provide position information for a rotating shaft by producing a continuous series of pulses. These pulses correspond to increments of resolution on the code disk. Incremental shaft encoders are the most widely applied industrial encoders in the world, with an extensive range of form factors and output types. EPC offers a broad array of incremental shaft encoders suitable for applications ranging from fine instrument control to rugged, industrial heavy duty feedback.
As the term implies, rotary encoders generally provide feedback for rotary motion. However, with the addition of a measuring wheel, gear, or cable-draw assembly, a rotary encoder can also provide feedback for linear displacement or measurement. EPC offers a line of integrated linear measurement solutions. They’re easy to install and deliver reliable, accurate feedback for applications such as cut-to-length, spooling, length measurement and print registration.
Absolute encoders provide position information for a rotating shaft within either a single rotation (single-turn) or over the course of multiple rotations (multi-turn). The encoder provides a unique digital code or bit for each increment of shaft rotation. Multi-turn absolute encoders store turns-counting information for instant retrieval, even after power down. EPC offers both single-turn and multi-turn absolute thru-bore encoders with a variety of housing sizes, bore diameters, signal types and resolutions.
