Incremental Encoder

Incremental Encoder

Incremental encoders generate digital pulse signals whose frequency is directly proportional to the rotational speed of a shaft or axis. These pulses are used by control systems to accurately measure speed, position, and direction of rotation in real time. The resolution of an incremental encoder is defined by its pulses per revolution (PPR). A higher PPR provides greater measurement accuracy and smoother motion control. By counting the output pulses, automation systems can determine

Absolute Singleturn Encoder

Absolute Singleturn Encoder

Absolute singleturn encoders provide a unique digital position value for every shaft position, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements even after power loss. Since the exact position is always known, no reference or homing run is required, making them ideal for precision motion control applications. Depending on system requirements, absolute single turn encoders can deliver position, rotational angle, and speed feedback with high accuracy. The resolution of a single turn encoder defines the number of distinct positions or steps that can be measured within one complete revolution, enabling precise control and smooth operation. These encoders are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, packaging machines, CNC equipment, and positioning systems, where reliable and maintenance-free position detection is essential.

Absolute Multiturn Encoder

Absolute Multiturn Encoder

Absolute encoders provide a unique position value for every shaft position, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements without requiring a homing run. They can output position, angle, or speed data based on application needs. Single turn encoders measure precise positions within one full revolution, while multiturn encoders also track the total number of revolutions. This makes them ideal for long-range positioning applications where position data must be retained even during power loss.

Draw Wire Mechanics

Draw Wire Mechanics

A wire draw encoder consists of a cable box and an encoder that converts linear motion into precise position data. As the measuring cable extends or retracts, the encoder counts the drum revolutions, which are directly proportional to the linear distance traveled, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements. With multiple interface options for easy system integration, ELCO wire draw linear encoders are ideal for industrial applications that demand precise, reliable, and long-range linear position feedback.

Safety Emergency Stop

Safety Emergency Stop

ELCO offers a wide range of emergency stop buttons designed for quick and effective safety in emergency situations. These buttons allow operators to immediately stop or disengage moving parts of a machine by simply pressing down. To restart the equipment, the button is easily reset by rotating it clockwise about 45°, allowing the spring mechanism to return the button to its original position. ELCO emergency stop buttons provide fast, reliable, and user-friendly protection for industrial machinery and automation systems.
