VLZ-series

Hollow Shaft Capacitive Absolute Rotary Encoders (105…175mm), Aluminum Housing

Breaking Boundaries – Redefining Performance For too long, high-end optical encoders have set the bar– until now. VLZ-series is rewriting the rules with cuttingedge capacitive technology, delivering unprecedented 1 milli-degree accuracy without the sensitivity of optics. With contactless operation, EMI and Magnetic field resistance, and unbeatable durability in harsh environments, VLZ-series thrives where others fail. Installation is effortless, both surface mount or “Bearing like” configurations, making high precision positioning more accessible than ever. The future isn’t optical – it’s VLZ-series. From Rotary stages and Tilting beds of milling centres to High-end Semiconductor equipment under vacuum, VLZ-series brings next-level precision with unique features and capabilities never seen before. Whether in the factory, lab or beyond.
