Garbage Truck Disposal

When you spot a garbage truck making its rounds in your neighbourhood, you might not think twice about the technology behind its operations. However, hidden within the arms that lift and empty refuse bins are advanced devices known as magnetic rotary encoders.

Elevator Repair

Has your building elevator broke down? Crane hoist or conveyor belt needs turning but you can’t identify your existing encoder? We know how overwhelming it can sometimes be to find a replacement encoder. There are countless types for many different applications that making a mistake is most likely if you don’t know what you are looking for.

Encoders serve as the eyes and ears of vehicle’s positioning systems, providing accurate feedback on position, speed, and orientation. POSITAL's IXARC UCD Profinet encoders utilise advanced magnetic technology, which offers several advantages over traditional optical encoders.

Mounting conventional encoders within the confines of small industrial automation machines, such as robotics and drones, can be extremely difficult. But, like most things, it may be about finding the right tool for the right job.

Encoders for Allen Bradley PLCs

Acknowledged as Rockwell Technology Partners

We are thrilled to announce that POSITAL has once again been recognised as a Rockwell Technology Partner.

EncoderLAB02 & EncoderLABRelay01

The Encoder-LAB02 is a dual-purpose instrument for quadrature incremental encoders with square wave outputs..

Encoder splitters application

The existing encoder signal distributors (encoder splitters) from Motrona will be gradually phased out over the next 12 months or so.

Encoder Couplings for Encoder Applications

In this blog post we discuss the factors that you need to take into consideraton when selecting encoder couplings, and the types of couplings available.

Encoders for safety related motion control

In safety-critical applications, a motion control system must be able to trust the position feedback that it receives from encoders and other sensors.

Setting limits of analogue encoder

An encoder with an analog output provides a varying signal such as 0-10V or 4-20mA, which is representative of the position of the shaft.

Ethernet IP Encoders for High Speed Applications

POSITAL has updated the EtherNet/IP communications interface on their encoders to optimise data transfer, thereby reducing downtime due to transmission delays.

PCA Encoders offers a comprehensive range of encoders to buy online.

HOW TO ACHIEVE PRECISE MEASUREMENTS WITH POSITAL’S SPRING-LOADED PIVOT ARM

PCA Encoders stocks the widest range of encoder accessories in Australia to support our client’s applications installation.

FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER AND SYNCHRONISER

Motrona’s FM210 frequency multiplier gives you fast and stable frequency multiplication. 

Encoder Cable Length Limitations, Precautions & Solutions

The speed and position signals of rotary encoders often need to be transmitted over long distances that are questionable for reliability. 

IO Link Encoders

POSITAL has a range of absolute IO-Link encoders.  

PROFINET ENCODERS

PCA Encoders stocks the POSITAL OCD-EIB1B-1213-B15V-PRM PROFINET encoder.  

SAFETY RELAY FOR CRANE MONITORING

For more than 40 years, Motrona safety relays have been used globally by crane manufacturers to monitor various parameters with a security level of SIL3 / Ple. 

MODBUS RTU Encoders

POSITAL offer several new encoders that support the ongoing demand for MODBUS RTU. 

LOW-COST QUALITY ENCODERS
