Koyo is the third-largest manufacturer of
bearings in the world, and has been producing quality, highly
reliable encoders for over 32 years.
Koyo rotary encoders are
used by many companies for angle, length-measuring, and position
sensing in major industrial machinery and equipment worldwide.
Encoders are sometimes referred to as optical transducers or
position transducers.
Direct Automation offers a
wide variety of light, medium and heavy-duty encoders (transducers).
Use these encoders with our PLC high-speed counter modules for
accurate position monitoring and control.
