IXARC Absolute Encoders
Rotary Encoders
POSITAL IXARC absolute rotary encoders provide unique position values from the moment they are switched on, even for movements that occur while the system is without power. They come in single-turn and multi-turn variations with different resolutions and communication interfaces, and thousands of mechanical and connection configurations to choose from.
Key Features
- Absolute position from power-on, no homing required
- Single-turn and multi-turn variations
- Wiegand energy harvesting, no battery needed for multiturn
- Over 20 communication interfaces available
- Hollow shaft, solid shaft, and heavy-duty housing options
- Programmable via UBIFAST configuration tool
- Up to IP69K protection
Posital IXARC Absolute Encoders in Ireland
POSITAL IXARC Absolute Encoders report a unique absolute position from power-on with no homing required, including for motion that occurred while powered down. Single-turn and multi-turn variants offer resolutions up to 18-bit ST and 46-bit MT, with over 20 communication interfaces including SSI, BiSS-C, CANopen, EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, IO-Link, and analog. Battery-free Wiegand energy harvesting handles multiturn counting.
IXARC absolute encoders are specified across Irish packaging lines, metalforming plant, conveyor and AGV systems, crane installations, and mobile machinery where the application cannot tolerate a homing routine after power loss.
Emolice is an Irish stockist for POSITAL products. Manufacture-to-order variants are available direct from the factory with fast leadtimes. Contact us with your specification.
