Precision Perfected for Every Environment

The Netzer Encoder Advantage - Traditional optical encoders crack under vibration. Magnetic encoders fail near heavy motors and EMI. Netzer’s proprietary capacitive technology delivers the best of both worlds: extreme ruggedness paired with up to 26-bit resolution.
