The IXArc rotary sensors are available with V4A-rated stainless steel housings and IP69K-level environmental seals. These encoders are suitable for applications in the food and beverage industries. The stainless steel housings also are available in explosion-proof (ATEX-rated) designs that can operate safely in environments with potentially dangerous levels of explosive dust or gases. The encoders feature output interfaces ranging from analog to industrial Ethernet. The analog-output devices (also known as programmable potentiometers) are designed to function as a drop-in replacement for multi-turn potentiometers in simple control systems. They are based on a magnetic sensor technology that requires no physical contact between measuring components.
