Absolute | Incremental | Linear Solutions | Programmable Encoders

Encoder Products Company or EPC is a manufacturer of incremental or absolute encoders. As a sales and support partner of Encoder, we can help you choose the right encoder for your application, from incremental thru-bore, motor mount, and programmable to absolute shaft and linear solutions.

Absolute Encoders

Encoder Products Company’s (EPC) absolute encoders provide position information for a rotating shaft within either a single rotation (single turn) or over the course of multiple rotations (multi-turn). The encoder provides a unique digital code or bit for each increment of shaft rotation. Multi-turn absolute encoders store turns-counting information for instant retrieval, even after power down. EPC offers both single-turn and multi-turn absolute encoders in shaft styles, blind hollow bore, and thru-bore, with a variety of housing sizes, bore diameters, signal types and resolutions.

Incremental Encoders

Encoder Products Company’s Accu-Coder™ incremental encoders are recognized world-wide for their high quality, reliability, and longevity. Available in Shaft, Thru-Bore, and Blind Hollow Bore.

Incremental Thru-Bore & Motor Mount Encoders

Incremental encoders provide position information for a rotating shaft by producing a continuous series of pulses. These pulses correspond to increments of resolution on the code disk. Incremental thru-bore and hollow-bore encoders are designed to mount directly to a rotating shaft which passes through the encoder. A flexible tether mount keeps the encoder from rotating with the shaft and absorbs shaft run-out or endplay, minimizing loads on the encoder bearings. Motor-mount style encoders feature a machined housing that attaches a hollow-bore encoder to the NEMA frame motor. To meet varied industrial feedback requirements, EPC offers a broad range of incremental thru-bore and motor mount encoders.

Encoder Basics

An encoder is a sensing device that provides feedback from the physical world. It converts motion to an electrical signal that can be read by some type of control device, like a counter or PLC, which uses that signal to control a conditional event, such as activating a print head to create a mark at a specific location.
