Ready – set – go
We make movement processes perfect
Application-specific encoders
are our specialty
Automation technology
Our rotary encoders are ideal for the precise position detection of gripper arms in automation technology. They also meet the high requirements for service life and ensure maximum reliability in three-shift operation.
Mechanical engineering
Our encoders cover a wide range of applications in mechanical engineering. They are ideal for angle, position, speed or length measurement in applications in CNC-controlled turning and milling machines. Our patented hollow shaft encoders are very practical thanks to their compact slim design.
Drive technology
Global Encoder Systems offers rotary encoders for position and speed detection for various drives, such as servo motors, asynchronous motors or stepper motors. You will also find suitable encoders with large bore diameters for large engines and generators in our portfolio.
Renewable energy
In renewable energy generation with photovoltaic modules or wind turbines, rotary encoders can increase efficiency. The high degree of protection and long service life play a key role here.
Elevator technology
Cable cars, escalators or elevators transport people and goods. Precision is essential for safe use. Passenger and freight lifts must stop precisely at the right floor. Different climate zones – sub-zero temperatures in the Alps or high humidity in Asia – also pose challenges for encoders. Our products overcome these with flying colours.
Crane systems
Crane systems or transport systems are designed to move large loads. Our encoders are also the first choice here. Leading manufacturers trust the quality and reliability of our encoders and are impressed by their short delivery times and our 24/7 service.
Offshore, oil, gas and raw materials production
Special care is required in oil and gas installations and in dangerous, explosive environments such as offshore applications. Our developers are always up to speed in these areas. In close coordination with our partners, we carry out all procedures for certification according to ATEX/IECEx, CE or IP under realistic conditions. Our devices meet the current ATEX/IECEx standards and are CE-certified.
Research and military
The research and military fields demand maximum precision. We develop and produce optical and magnetic sensors for various telescopes and satellite receiver antennas. This application field requires maximum rotary encoder accuracy in order to control the exact position of the receiver antennas.
Robotics
A large number of industrial processes can no longer be carried out without robotics: Industrial robots paint, weld, assemble and move parts with different dimensions, weights and geometries. This requires handling with millimetre precision – which is precisely what our incremental encoders and absolute encoders excel in. They support the movements of systems in a highly precise manner and are absolutely reliable in control and measurement.
Medical technology
Imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT or MRI have become a core part of medical diagnostics. Every detail in the presentation can be crucial for the treatment. The decisive factor is the imaging of the area to be examined – for this, the patient, source and detector must be positioned precisely. Our encoders fulfil these requirements and are therefore an essential component in modern medical technology.
