Heavy duty rotary encoders from SIKO – resistant to heat, cold, salt water or IP69K compliant

SIKO GmbH: Whether at -40° or +100° Celsius, whether subjected to shock, vibrations, dirt or moisture, no other sensor has to face as many different challenges as an encoder.

Many sensors reach their limit particularly when used in mobile machinery, heavy industry, mining or offshore applications. In this context, it is not only essential to manufacture a highly accurate rotary encoder - in these areas, it is important to find the fine line between high resolution, functionality and a robust housing design.

With the robust magnetic absolute rotary encoders from SIKO GmbH, this feat is accomplished without having to compromise on flexibility and size.

The heavy duty designs from SIKO are ideally suited for positioning tasks in mechanically demanding environments. Special design features ensure that the very high IP 69K protection rating is achieved throughout the life of the product. Combined with robust ball bearings (shaft loads up to 270 N), these sensors are ideal for reliable measurements under extreme environmental conditions such as high humidity, fluctuating temperatures and aggressive media (salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227 >240hrs).
