Product Description
Introducing ELCO Encoders: Precision Motion Feedback for Industrial Automation
ELCO Industrial Automation offers a complete range of rotary encoders designed for precise motion control in demanding environments. Built to deliver accurate speed, position, and direction feedback, ELCO encoders support the performance requirements of OEMs, machine builders, and integrators across industries. Their rugged construction, high signal reliability, and rapid availability make them an essential component in automated systems where precision matters.
Incremental Encoders
ELCO’s incremental encoders provide high-resolution feedback for monitoring speed, direction, and position changes. Available in shaft, hollow shaft, and blind hollow configurations, these encoders are ideal for motor feedback, conveyor systems, and drive control applications. With multiple output signal formats and durable housings, they offer plug-and-play integration for fast deployment.
Absolute Encoders
For applications requiring precise multi-turn or single-turn position feedback, ELCO’s absolute encoders deliver exact position values without the need for re-homing. These encoders support interfaces such as SSI, CANopen, and IO-Link, making them a reliable choice for advanced positioning and motion control systems in robotics, packaging, and assembly automation.
Heavy-Duty & Compact Designs
ELCO encoders are engineered for durability, with models designed to withstand extreme conditions including shock, vibration, moisture, and electrical noise. Compact housing options support tight-space installations, while heavy-duty versions deliver long-term performance in harsh industrial environments such as steel, marine, and automotive manufacturing.
Mounting & Connectivity Solutions
To complement its encoder portfolio, ELCO offers a full suite of mounting accessories, couplings, and pre-configured connection cables. Quick-disconnect options, IP-rated connectors, and customizable cable lengths simplify installation and reduce maintenance time. With integrated support for fieldbus and industrial Ethernet protocols, ELCO encoders fit easily into any modern control architecture.
