Digital Encoders

Precise feedback systems for position and speed detection

Absolute precision for every motion

Our digital encoders provide high-resolution position data and enable exact motion control for your drive system — whether in complex automation modules or compact positioning units. They are ideal for applications where accurate feedback on position or angular displacement is critical.

Flexible integration and robust performance

Thanks to their compact design, SDE encoders can be seamlessly integrated into a wide range of system architectures — even in tight installation spaces. They support multiple digital interfaces, are resistant to shock and vibration, and are therefore perfectly suited for demanding industrial environments.
