ABSOLUTE + INCREMENTAL ENCODER HENGSTLER

he ACURO® family of encoders made by Hengstler has established itself thanks to its high precision and reliability.
With the new AC58-I, we have added another member to this family and developed an encoder which can be used both for positioning and feedback applications.

In many drive and positioning applications, electric motors are frequently used, with an incremental encoder assuming the feedback and absolute encoders assuming the rotor positioning. Up until now, two encoders had to be integrated in order to attain the desired output signals. Not only did this increase the overall system cost, but narrowed the freedom of engineers in their constructive design.

Two in One!
With the new AC58-I, Hengstler now offers two encoders in one!
Incremental and absolute encoder signals are combined together in one enclosure.
