Encoders are used to control the speed and angular position of a motor or intermediate axle shafts on conveyors.

For example to synchronize barcode scanners or label printers, absolute encoders generate a multi-bit digital data information, providing the precise position.Datasensing AST58 Absolute Single-Turn encoder, in standard Ø58 mm metal case with hollow or solid shaft, offers up to 13 bit resolution, with cable, M12 or M23 connector.

AMT58 Absolute Multi-Turn Encoder offers a 13x12 bit resolution, or 16x14 bit in the Fieldbus models, including CANopen®, Devicenet®, EtherCAT®, Profibus® and Profinet®.
