Product lines from Contelec
Contelec offers a wide range of sensors that meet the most diverse requirements
requirements:
- Absolute rotary encoders:
These sensors enable the exact measurement of angular positions and retain their position even after a power failure. They are ideal for applications that require precise positioning, such as in robotics or steering.
robotics or in the steering of mobile vehicles.
- Multiturn encoders:
They precisely measure the number of revolutions as well as the absolute
absolute angle and are therefore perfect for applications that require precise position
precise position determination over several revolutions, for example theposition
position detection in worm gears or tower rotation in construction machinery.
- Non-contacting rotary encoders:
These contactless sensors work without mechanical bearings,
which makes them wear-free and particularly durable. They are ideally suited for
for use in harsh environments, for example in heavy industry, construction

- Incremental and inductive measuring methods offer high precision and reliability in dynamic applications.
in dynamic applications. Incremental sensors are ideal for
speed measurements, while inductive sensors are insensitive to magnetic fields and can therefore be used in environments with high requirements - as well as for displacement measurement over longer distances than magnetic methods allow.
- Interfaces such as CANopen, CAN J1939, SENT and IO-Link enable seamless integration into modern control systems and ensure fast and reliable data transmission. This is particularly important for mobile vehicles or in factory automation, where real-time communication is essential.
