Low Profile Encoders With Patented Technology Advanced Electric Encoder™ for Low Profile Rotary Applications For low profile encoders that offer absolute and high precision, Netzer Precision features worldwide patented, rugged, high-performance products using the proprietary Electric Encoder technology —an advanced, non-contact capacitive sensing method developed by the company’s founder. This patented technology has several advantages. This proprietary technology offers several significant advantages, including ultra-low profile construction, high precision, and robust mechanical flexibility. The company, which started out in the late 1990s, offers both standard and custom low profile rotary encoders designed to meet specific client requirements and qualifications. These custom rotary encoders feature absolute position sensing, ultra-low profile design, and mechanical flexibility. In addition to the low profile rotary encoder, Netzer offers a broad portfolio of top-tier products. Low Profile Rotary Encoder Solutions for Space-Limited Designs Low profile encoders are ideally used in industries such as material handling, metal processing, oil and gas, elevator, and building automation. They are usually integrated into applications with limited installation space where performance and footprint must be balanced. These encoders are lightweight, with a hollow floating shaft, and built with no bearing or other contacts. They have a high tolerance to extreme temperature, shock, vibration, EMI, RFI, and magnetic field. Netzer’s DS-25 and DS-37 models have a low profile of 7mm, while the DS-58, DS-70, DS-90, and DS-130 models have a low profile of 10mm. All models in the low profile rotary encoder range are mounting tolerant, with most allowing for a ±0.1mm mounting eccentricity and ±0.1mm rotor axial motion. With low weight and inertia, they support dynamic system performance in sensitive installations. The DS-25 and DS-37 models operate at speeds up to 35 rpm, while the DS-58 and DS-70 models can reach up to 750 rpm, offering flexibility across a wide range of performance requirements. Whether your application demands compact integration, durability, or high-resolution feedback, a low profile rotary encoder from Netzer delivers uncompromised precision.
