POSITAL’s line of cube encoders are perfect drop-in replacements for traditional designs. Without special mounts or brackets, installation is a breeze! Programmability of incremental interfaces and resolutions as well as a robust housing make these a versatile choice for new and traditional machines. The measurement module inside the cube provides high levels of accuracy and dynamic response in a rugged package that is tolerant of shock and vibration loading, dust and moisture. Identical mechanical dimensions and interfaces for traditional cube designs also make them a cost-effective replacement for older or unreliable units.

POSITAL’s continued improvements in their Wiegand Sensors make it extremely useful. Some lesser-known applications include condition monitoring, low-frequency wireless charging, and proximity sensing. By exploiting the changing magnetic fields that are seen in magnetically coupled devices, Wiegand Sensors can provide enough energy to safely power or charge battery-powered wireless sensors.

Paired with our measuring wheel and IXRAC encoder, POSITAL’s spring-loaded pivot arm is optimally suited to ensure precise and reliable length measurement even during higher spring travel. The spring arm can be mounted from both sides thereby allowing for change in the direction of the spring load. The preload and resulting contact pressure and both adjustable through clamp fastening.

Spring Loaded Pivot Arm 36mm

Spring Loaded Pivot Arm 58mm

AGVs and robotic forklifts require precise measurements, especially in factory and warehouse settings. Installing POSITAL’s draw wire encoders into these vehicles ensures reliable and smooth positioning even in meticulous pick and place procedures. POSITAL’s exceptional magnetic encoder technology combined with robust draw wire adapters provide a hassle-free, cost-efficient solution for indoor or outdoor environments.
