Integrated encoder solutions

The trend in drive technology is increasingly moving towards more compact, more efficient systems. The aim is to minimize not only installation space, but also installation and maintenance costs. In the field of drive control, integrated sensor systems are increasingly replacing conventional mounting concepts.

Attachment encoder

Attachment encoder

- Additional installation space for add-on encoders
- Bearing-mounted encoders are susceptible to wear
- Encoder is mounted, calibrated and wired separately
- High overall costs for the drive system
