Minneapolis—TURCK announces that the Kübler by TURCK 2450 shaft and 2470 hollow shaft miniature encoders are now available in absolute versions. The encoders boast a 24 mm diameter housing that makes them ideal for space-restricted areas, with a non-contact design that minimizes wear—delivering exceptional ruggedness in a compact package.

Rather than determining encoder position based upon the home position, as incremental varieties do, 2450 and 2470 absolute encoders assign a unique output for each position. With this design, the encoders retain specific position data, even if equipment power is turned off.

All 2450 and 2470 miniature encoders deliver a maximum speed rating of 12,000 RPM, plus an extensive temperature range of -20 to 85º C to suit diverse plant environments. With radial and axial cable outlet options, these compact encoders demonstrate even further applicability in tight spaces.
