Heidenhain expands its range of ROQ/EQN 425 absolute rotary encoders

Heidenhain (GB), supplier of angular, linear and rotary encoders, digital readouts and CNC systems, has expanded its range of ROQ/EQN 425 absolute rotary encoders with models having SSI or EnDat interfaces and additional TTL or HTL signals

Originally designed for use in the wind energy sector – the absolute signal measuring the position of the rotor blade and the incremental signal for the motor inverter – Heidenhain says the encoders could be used in any applications where a dual signal output is required, potentially to eliminate the fitting of dual encoders. The units can be supplied as mounted stator coupling versions or for shaft connection with up to IP 66 protection.
