Stainless Steel Encoders

A Range of Absolute and Incremental Rotary Encoders for Harsh Environments

This includes totally immersible rotary encoders to IP69, "explosion proof" encoders with ATEX certification and heavy duty encoders with high shock resistance and long life bearings.

These encoders are used off shore, in wind farms, the food and beverage industry, in construction and utility vehicles, and many other applications where corrosion resistance and high levels of water protection are required.

The Hengstler AR62 and AR63, part of the Hengstler ACURO range are the very latest compact and robust absolute encoders for harsh environments.

ACURO-XR

Hengstler ACURO-XRobust absolute rotary encoders are truly heavy duty with extra long-life bearings and unique seals. They are built within a compact 58mm diameter housing and are ideal for marine, harsh environment and food & beverage industries where wash down resistance is critical.

The Hengstler XRobust range of encoders is available with either a stainless housing (AR63) or an aluminium housing (AR62).

The products on this page are all stainless steel encoders some are absolute, others incremental and a selection are available with ATEX certification. There are separate pages on this website listing all the ATEX Certified Encoders, the ones shown here represent the ones with stainless steel enclosure options.
