ATEX-Certified Absolute and Incremental Encoders for Hazardous Area Applications

ATEX-Certified Absolute and Incremental Encoders for Hazardous Area Applications

ATEX-certified rotary encoders are designed for precise position and motion feedback in explosive atmospheres, compliant with ATEX Zone 2 (gas) and Zone 22 (dust) requirements. The encoders feature explosion-protected housings, controlled surface temperatures, and certified electrical interfaces to ensure safe operation under fault and normal conditions.

Absolute encoders provide deterministic position data via single-turn or multi-turn sensing with high-resolution output, ensuring immediate position availability after power cycling. This eliminates reference runs and enables fail-safe positioning in safety-critical applications. Typical interfaces include SSI, CANopen, Profibus, and PROFINET, supporting high-speed, noise-immune data transmission over industrial networks.

Incremental encoders generate quadrature pulse signals (A/B, with optional index Z) for real-time speed, direction, and relative position feedback. High pulse counts per revolution, low latency signal processing, and short response times make them suitable for dynamic motion control, motor feedback, and closed-loop systems.

Dual output encoders combine absolute position information and incremental signals in a single device. This enables simultaneous absolute referencing and real-time speed feedback, providing increased system redundancy and flexibility in complex or safety-critical applications.

Designed with high ingress protection (up to IP67/IP69K), wide operating temperature ranges, EMC-optimized electronics, and resistance to shock and vibration, ATEX encoders deliver long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments while maintaining compliance with explosion safety standards.
