POSITAL’s UL rotary encoders for hazardous environments offer users mutliple user interfaces and mounting options at an economical price point are complicated machines which must perform flawlessly under the harshest conditions.
The POSITAL UCD-…-H200 series is a robust, flexible alternative to geared potentiometers such as the GP09. Rather than relying on a contact-based potentiometer, the H200 uses an internal non-contact based Hall-effect sensor. This provides not only more reliable readings, but the flexibility to scale the output range during installation.
POSITAL UCD analog encoders are a novel alternative to traditional rotary encoders. Relying on a non-contact Hall sensor, UCD encoders are scalable by the end user, offer 13 bit resolution and multiturn counting.
POSITAL CCD Hollow Shaft Kit Encoders are ideal for Integration to motors, robot joints and other challenging installations. A large 30mm through hollow shaft diameter and a battery-free Weigand based multiturn counter make this sensor as unique as the applications it is used on.
POSITAL encoders support a number of common industrial ethernet protocols, including EtherNet/IP ( Rockwell Automation) , PROFINET (Siemens) , EtherCat (Beckhoff), MODBUS TCP/IP and Powerlink. Please contact Everight directly for the most up-to-date product offerings and manuals. For 2D/3D drawings of specific encoders please contact Everight Position.
POSITAL encoders with CANopen and SAE J1939 interfaces support a wide variety of applications, from industrial automation to mobile machinery. For 2D/3D drawings of specific encoders please contact Everight Position.
POSITAL UCD encoders with SSI output are a reliable and economical alternative to optical encoders. With seemingly countless mechanical options, these encoders are ideal for new applications and MRO alike. For 2D/3D drawings of specific encoders please contact Everight Position.

POSITAL CCD Hollow Shaft Kit Encoders are ideal for Integration to motors, robot joints and other challenging installations. A large 50mm through hollow shaft diameter and a battery-free Weigand based multiturn counter make this sensor as unique as the applications it is used on.
POSITAL has extended its TILTIX family of inclinometers (tilt sensors) to include explosion-proof models designed to operate safely in environments that contain potentially dangerous levels of explosive dust or gases.
The POSITAL AKS inclinometer outputs a clean measurement signal and can be used reliably on mobile equipment such as construction machinery, mining equipment, agricultural machinery, cranes, and anywhere else where sudden movements, shocks and vibrations are likely to be encountered.

I thought rotary encoders used optical discs, but now I’m finding other options such as magnetic, capacitive and inductive. How do I determine which is right for my application?
Each sensor technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and within each technology there is a broad range of options. For example, some optical encoders cost $20 and others cost $10,000. The chart below is a very generalized overview of how the different technologies stack against one another and it should be noted that exceptions do exist.

Incremental Encoders
Incremental devices provide position change information only, so the actual position (0-360°) is unknown at startup. A once-per-rev index/marker signal defines the zero position or null of the device. It can be detected during a homing routine if needed.
Incremental sensors are typically small, accurate and cost-effective. They provide essentially instantaneous position information with minimal latency.
Absolute Encoders
Absolute devices provide the actual physical position within one revolution. Homing elimination is a major advantage as this process takes time and isn’t always possible depending on the physical limits of the application.
Absolute sensors are usually bigger and more expensive than incremental devices. Data processing of multiple tracks and serial transmission can increase the latency of position reading. Absolute sensors are available in a wide variety of interfaces including analog (voltage, current), SSI, BiSS, CANopen, J1939 and many Ethernet based protocols.
Absolute Multi-Turn
Rotary, multi-turn devices provide actual position over multiple revolutions. Homing can be eliminated. Multi-turn devices incorporate internal gearing, a battery backup or a self-generated pulse counter such as a Weigand Wire.
While Positek sensors are manufactured to never need to be calibrated, we do understand that sometimes it can be necessary to confirm the sensors functionality and linearity.
Full instructions can be viewed here: https://www.positek.com/contentfiles/files/Linear_Calibration_Instructions.pdf
Note, you will need a sensor where the ‘trim pots’ are accessible to make this adjustment.
If it is a Gill liquid level sensor, yes you can. Some lower-end capacitive sensors rely on the tank housing to complete the circuit necessary to measure the liquid level, however Gill liquid level sensors are fully enclosed, and thus can be used in tanks made of any material. Gill sensors can even be mounted at an angle or upside down with no loss of performance.
