Magnetic encoders

Novotechnik’s magnetic encoders utilize advanced sensor technology to ensure precise and reliable position measurements. Their robust and durable design makes them the ideal solution for applications that must operate even under extremely challenging conditions. Thanks to their contactless operation, these encoders offer maximum operational reliability and significantly reduce downtime that could be caused by maintenance-related interruptions. This makes them indispensable, particularly in industries where long-term precision and reliability are essential.

Thanks to their versatile connection options, our magnetic encoders can be used in a wide variety of systems. By offering industry-standard interfaces for various applications, their adaptability is virtually universal. These sensors are known for their resistance to harsh environmental conditions and are ideal for use in applications where a high degree of precision and durability is required.

Magnetic encoders are particularly well-suited for use in mobile machinery, where they provide reliable measurement data even in harsh production environments. The specialty vehicle manufacturing sector also values these sensors, as they support precise, safety-critical systems that must deliver consistent performance and quality. In agriculture, these encoders reliably perform their function even under challenging environmental conditions and help ensure that machinery can operate consistently over extended periods.

Key Benefits of Magnetic Encoders

• High durability: They are resistant to harsh environmental conditions and suitable for a wide temperature range, ensuring their reliable performance.
• Durability: Contactless measurement and the resulting wear-free operation minimize maintenance intervals that can cause unplanned downtime.
• Versatility and adaptability: Flexible options for integration into a wide variety of applications help meet specific system requirements and ensure a broad range of possible uses.
• Cost-effective: Magnetic encoders are more affordable than optical encoders, especially when purchased in large quantities.

Typical applications for magnetic encoders

• Commercial Vehicles: The encoders monitor axles and transmissions, provide precise position and status data, and ensure reliable control processes—even in the face of vibrations, temperature fluctuations, and strong EMC interference.
• Robotics: In robotics, they measure joint positions with high precision and enable precisely repeatable movements even at high speeds, with short cycle times, and in confined spaces
• Textile and packaging machinery: Here, magnetic angle sensors reliably detect the position of dancer arms, even under harsh environmental conditions. The contactless measurement stabilizes web tension and consistently improves process quality.
• Mobile machinery: In mobile machinery, magnetic encoders ensure uninterrupted performance and consistent quality even under demanding and challenging conditions.

Novotechnik's magnetic encoders offer the perfect combination of durability and versatility to meet even the most demanding industrial requirements for accuracy, robustness, and reliability. These encoders play a key role in boosting efficiency and productivity in modern industry.
