J1 shafted rotary encoders are made to ensure total protection from extreme temperature fluctuation, intense machine vibration and pressure washdown. They are available in J1939, voltage and quadrature outputs, as well as others. Prototyped on an FDM 3-D printer, the encapsulation method creates a fully protected electronics package, which makes an environmental barrier between the encoder’s shaft and bearing package. Other features include absolute multiturn capability and MIL-STD 202 rating for shock and vibration. Customizable connector options are available.
