Track distance, direction, and speed in tight spaces on machinery. Cylindrical and about half the size of standard position-measuring transmitters, these are often used on robot arms and crowded conveyors. Also known as encoders, they send motion data to your system by converting rotary motion into an electrical signal.

Incremental transmitters track how much a rotating shaft has turned relative to a reference point. They need to be reset after a power loss. Absolute transmitters give you the exact position of the shaft, even after a power loss. Multi-turn absolute transmitters count how many full turns a shaft makes. They’re often used to keep print rollers aligned over multiple rotations.

Transmitters with a shaft connect to a motor’s shaft with a flexible shaft coupling to fit different diameters. Transmitters with a shaft opening slide onto your motor's shaft. Their mounting plate flexes to compensate for your motor's vibration.

Transmitters with IO link let you set their resolution remotely when connected to a PLC, a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.

IP-rated transmitters are protected from dust and water.
