Rotary encoder for construction machinery

Cutting-edge rotary encoders for today’s construction machinery

In the construction industry, efficiency is key as construction companies usually have to operate under major time constraints. As a result, the construction machinery sector needs to innovate and be open to new technologies and possibilities. Take, for example, the three-dimensional electronic control of excavators.

Rotary encoders here need to be robust and to deliver highly accurate, rapid measurements. Controlling an excavator bucket requires both rapid changes in position and slow, precise movements for exact excavation.

Tailor-made solutions for construction machinery

Fixed and mobile cranes, wheel loaders, excavators and implement carriers place different, wide-ranging demands on the rotary encoders that are needed to control the machinery and for safety functions.

Alongside the general need for robustness, other essential criteria depend on the application. Redundant variants, different analog and digital interfaces, special mechanical variants for heavy axle loads and the best possible integration of sensor and machinery often call for modified or custom solutions.

Alongside its tried-and-tested standard products, Contelec uses its engineering expertise to offer tailor-made yet economically priced solutions  for every need and application.
