Precision Encoders For Diverse Applications

3-Plate or a 2-Plate Topology Absolute Rotary Precision Encoders

Absolute rotary encoders are used in various industries offering accurate measurement of speed and position.. They determine position by using a static reference point. Whether magnetic or optical, these precision encoders operate similarly – using two plates or discs. One disc moves freely, while the other remains fixed.

As a leading manufacturer of precision encoders, Netzer provides high-performance products using patented, cutting-edge technology. Netzer’s Precision encoders utilize proprietary technology which was developed and created by its founder Mr. Netzer, enabling lower costs and higher quality. Termed the ‘Electric Encoder’, this non-contact technology has several advantages, including a simple and robust structure with a virtually no-failure mechanism, generous mounting tolerances, absolute position output over 360° rotation range, and a default operation range from -55°C to +125°C.

Rotary Precision Encoder For Diverse Applications 

The rotary precision encoders that Netzer designed using the Electric Encoder technology use either a 3-plate or a 2-plate topology. These topologies both have space/time modulated electric fields within a shielded space. Utilizing Electric Encoder technology provides many benefits such as a hollow, floating shaft with no bearings, very low power consumption, immunity to magnetic and electric interference, low profile, high mechanical durability, high tolerance to mechanical installation errors, a wide temperature operation range, and a simple mechanical and electrical interface.

Netzer specializes in precision encoders for harsh environments with a low-profile, hollow shaft structure that suits compact, high-density designs.
