Optical encoders elevate performance in
lifts
The IH950 and IH103 are available in any resolution up to a maximum of 50,000pulse/rev.
Industrial Encoder Corporation produces a number of optical encoders suitable for use in lift applications, and has shipped 20,000 such devices in the last 10 years IEC's complete product line of solid- and hollow-shaft encoders have always used unbreakable optical disks for all applications, superior mechanical assemblies machined from solid aluminium (castings are never used) and a patented floating bearing assembly that is highly tolerant of misalignments and overloading, coupled with a conservative electronic design using a modern custom ASIC, with 100% short circuit protection and reverse voltage protection

Washdown encoders are designed with a stainless steel cover and housing and can be obtained with an IP67 sealing option.
Encoders take on hazardous duties
Explosion-proof incremental and absolute encoders offer many advantages in hazardous duty applications.
The IH103 and IH950 are the primary encoders requested by the lift segment with shaft bore diameters ranging from 0.625 to 1.625in.
The IH950 and IH103 are available in any resolution up to a maximum of 50,000pulse/rev.
Although most customers require a straight-through shaft, specific mounting requirements are frequently accommodated.
Options for the IH103 include heavy duty ratings, IP67 sealing, stainless steel body, and extended temperature range of -40 to +100C.
The company's product line includes incremental and absolute encoders from 1.1 to 5.8in diameter and with shaft bores up to 4in diameter.
IEC's products have been proven and used extensively in robots, cranes, forestry, oil and gas, machining, lifts, factory automation and food processing, and energy production applications.
IEC is also certified to certain UL standards and for explosion-proof requirements.
