The Netzer VLX-170 Absolute Rotary Encoder offers up to 23-bit resolution with 0.006 Degree accuracy in an ultra-thin (<10 mm) and lightweight (<106g) design. Powered by contactless capacitive sensing technology, it ensures high-reliability, wear-free performance, making it ideal for demanding applications.
Engineered for aerospace, robotics, defense, and high-precision industrial automation, the VLX-170 features a hollow, low-inertia structure, reducing system mass and enhancing dynamic response. When precision, durability, and compact size matter, the VLX-170 delivers unmatched rotary feedback performance.
NEW Modular Parameter Selection Our new modular configuration feature enables the flexible selection of resolution, interface (BiSS-C or SSi), and software turn counting, giving engineers greater freedom to tailor encoder behavior to specific application needs from the earliest design stages.
