Advantages of Magnetic Encoders

Magnetic encoders offer a range of benefits compared to other types of encoders.

One of the key advantages of magnetic encoders is their compact size, made possible by the technology they use. This feature makes them well-suited for applications where mounting space is limited.

In addition, magnetic encoders are highly reliable due to their simple electronic design, which eliminates the need for mechanical gearing or batteries found in previous-generation absolute encoders. With no moving parts, magnetic encoders have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance.

Magnetic encoders are also more cost-effective to produce thanks to their straightforward electronic design. These cost savings are passed on to you, resulting in a lower price for your encoder.

As a distributor of POSITAL encoders, PCA is proud to offer the best in the industry. POSITAL is one of only two confirmed sources that can produce Wiegand sensors at a grade useful for encoders, and has produced over 500,000 sensors to date. This means that regardless of the brand of magnetic encoder you normally use, it most likely contains a POSITAL Wiegand sensor, ensuring high quality and reliability.
