ATEX Absolute Encoder

ATEX absolute encoders are designed to safely measure shaft position in potentially explosive atmospheres and classified areas. In these environments, common in sectors such as petrochemicals, gas, mining, energy, materials processing, and the chemical industry, not only is sensor accuracy important, but also compliance with applicable safety regulations. Therefore, these encoders incorporate robust designs and specific certifications to operate reliably where standard equipment would not be suitable.

An ATEX absolute encoder allows you to know the exact shaft position at all times, even after a system shutdown or stoppage. This function is especially valuable in applications where process continuity and operational safety are critical, such as motorized valves, hoists, conveyors, agitators, pumps, or positioning systems in hazardous areas. Furthermore, they can be integrated with various industrial protocols and adapted to diverse mechanical configurations according to the installation's requirements.

At GUEMISA Sensors and Instrumentation, we offer ATEX absolute encoders for demanding industrial applications, with expert technical advice to help you select the right model based on the risk zone, electrical interface, resolution, mounting type, and environmental conditions. If you need a certified position sensor for explosive environments, we can help you find a safe, accurate solution that is compatible with your system.
