Encoders

TURCK’s non-contact encoders are based on an inductive measurement system and offer the advantages of wear-free operation and immunity to interference. The measurement principle allows for a seal-free design with a fully encapsulated sensor housing that is mechanically isolated from the shaft and thus from the actual position transducer. RI rotary encoders and angle sensors are the robust choice when angle positions need to be detected non-contact and wear-free. The inductive measurement principle mechanically separates the sensor from the position transducer, eliminates seal and bearing problems, and increases uptime even in the presence of dust, moisture, vibration, or frequent movement. Compact QR designs enable flexible mounting directly on machines and in mobile applications.

For which applications is this product family particularly well-suited?

• Angle feedback on flaps, shafts, axles, and swivel joints
• Position measurement in mobile machinery and outdoor applications
• Rugged rotation angle measurement on machines exposed to dust, moisture, or mechanical stress

TURCK offers encoders tailored to a variety of applications: Incremental encoders (REI) generate electrical pulses, the number of which indicates the angular position. Single-turn absolute encoders (RES) detect every angle within a 360° rotation, while multiturn absolute encoders (REM) also detect the number of rotations. RE encoders offer proven rotary feedback technology for a wide range of machine and drive applications. Incremental and absolute single-turn and multi-turn versions, various shaft and flange variants, as well as Efficiency and Industrial Line options ensure a suitable selection for standard machines, OEM projects, and more demanding industrial applications. This enables reliable measurement of motion, speed, and position.
