Rotary Displacement and Encoders

An incremental encoder measures the change in position relative to a starting point, while an absolute encoder from HK Calibrations provides a unique digital code for every angle of the shaft. This means absolute models retain their exact position even if power is lost, which is vital for safety-critical Australian industrial applications.

Optical encoders offer the highest precision and resolution for clean laboratory or electronic environments. However, HK Calibrations recommends magnetic encoders for harsher Australian conditions, such as mining or heavy manufacturing, as they are highly resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical vibration.

PPR defines the resolution of an incremental encoder. HK Calibrations supplies encoders with a wide range of PPR values; higher PPR allows for finer control and smoother motion in high-speed CNC machinery or precision robotic arms used in local manufacturing.

Yes, we provide a variety of mounting options, including hollow-shaft and solid-shaft designs. HK Calibrations specialists can help you select a compatible model with the correct electrical interface (such as TTL or HTL) to modernize the positioning accuracy of your existing equipment.

These sensors track the exact distance and speed of moving parts. HK Calibrations provides displacement solutions that ensure synchronisation across assembly lines, helping Australian packaging and food processing facilities maintain high throughput with minimal errors.

To ensure that "one revolution" on your display matches the physical reality of your machine, HK Calibrations provides professional calibration services. We verify the signal integrity and pulse accuracy to ensure your automated systems operate within their specified tolerances and Australian safety standards.
