Our explosion-proof IXARC incremental rotary encoders are now UL certified (Classes I, Division 2, Group A, B, C and D; Class II, Division 2, Group F and G; and Class III) — including environments with flammable gases, dust, and fibers. Built to perform in the world’s most demanding industrial settings, these encoders are an ideal solution for:
- Oil and gas installations
- Chemical and processing plants
- Grain handling and wood milling
- Fabric and material production
IXARC incremental encoders feature several programmable performance parameters. Resolution (anywhere from 1 to 16,384 pulses per revolution) and incremental pulse direction (A before B or B before A) can be modified by simple firmware updates. Likewise, the output driver can be set to either Push-Pull (HTL) or RS422 (TTL). Customers can order the configurations they need pre-set at the factory or can customize their encoders on-site with POSITAL’s convenient UBIFAST programing tool.
- Rugged Housings:
Aluminum or stainless steel bodies eliminate hot-spots that could spark ignition. - Magnetic Sensing:
Delivers high-resolution incremental feedback with resistance to shock loads up to 100g and vibration up to 10g. - Flexible Configurations:
Multiple mechanical and electrical variants available for integration into a wide range of applications.
POSITAL offers a variety of sensors certified for explosive environments, compliant with ATEX and IECEx certifications. Read more here.
