Sensors Name Comments US Digital All sorts of optical encoders. Renishaw High precision incremental and absolute encoders. Dynapar Incorrect data sheets online with misleading information. Same company as Hengstler. Sick-Stegmann Netzer High resolution encoders made in Israel. Had an 18 bit single turn rotary absolute encoder quoted at about $925 with a four week lead time. BEI Tough industrial encoders, high precision encoders must be built to order and are very expensive. H25X 15 bit encoder quoted at $1700. Allen-Bradley Tough encoders with high resolution. Avtron Red Lion Turck EPC DRC Only incremental encoders as of 6/27/2011. Heidenhain Offer very high resolution encoders. Had ROC 425 25 bit encoder with EnDat output quoted at $476 each with a six week lead time. Made in Germany.Quoted 26 bit ROC 226 encoder with SSI output at $4500 each. ROC 417 17 bit encoder quoted at $1,598. Avago Allied Motion GPI Quoted A90S23SBRS05SAS39S06EN 22 bit absolute single turn encoder at $2213.00 each with a 6-8 week lead time.
