The POSITAL IXARC OCD-S101G-0016-QA7S-2AW Optical SSI with Preset encoder provides 16 bit resolution along with excellent dynamic response and is suitable for use in areas with high magnetic fields. A Aluminum flange, Steel housing and void temperature range provide IP54, IP64 ? IP67 (EN 60529) environmental protection. Since the rotation of the code discs is an entirely mechanical process, there is no risk of these devices losing track of their absolute position due to a temporary loss of instrument power. No backup batteries are required!
