Absolute encoders provide actual position data at the system's power on, despite possible shaft rotations; so there's no need to reset to the zero point after a power down.
Stout and accurate, Elap single- and multi-turn absolute encoders are the ideal solution for motion control on operating machines in all industrial fields.
Elap's wide choice of mechanical solutions can satisfy any application requirement. The different available output signals and voltage supply ranges make it possible for Elap absolute encoders to interface with any counting system or PLC controller. The encoders' high resolution values make them ideal for applications needing a high degree of accuracy.
The MEM-Bus series absolute encoders are available with CANopen or PROFIBUS standard field bus interfaces.
MEM-Bus encoders can be supplied both in single and multi-turn versions. Resolution of the single-turn encoder is 13 bit while the multi-turn resolution value is 29 bit (8192 steps/revolution x 65536 revolutions).
Different mechanical versions are available to satisfy a wide range of application requirements: square flanged, round flanged with a servo coupling, and hollow shaft for a direct motor shaft coupling. All types offer different options for the shaft/hole diameter. The electrical connection uses cables with two or three cable gland options available.
The sturdy aluminum case ensures a high degree of protection to make MEM-Bus encoders ideal for applications in severe industrial environments. The innovative electronic construction technology—with no mechanical gears—allows the potential for high acceleration and speed values as well as a long transducer life.
Elap Profinet MEM-Bus series absolute encoders comply with the Encoder Profile Specifications V4.1 version 3.162 related to Profidrives. They fulfill the requirements of both Application Classes 3 and 4 (provide all functions for scaling factor, preset, rotational direction, positioning and speed values, diagnostic). Elap Profinet MEM-Bus encoders support the Real Time (RT) and Isochronous Real Time (IRT) transmission modes, thus ensuring fast, accurate, and safe data transfer.
In addition to standard 81, 82, 83, and 84 telegrams, Elap encoders also support the user 860 telegram (Profibus telegram), a unique feature which simplifies encoder handling as well as allowing migration from Profinet devices.
The encoders real time diagnostic function ensures constant monitoring of the device state.
Profinet MEM-Bus encoders are supplied in a multi-turn version with 29 bit resolution (8192 steps/revolution x 65536 revolutions).
Different mechanical versions are available to satisfy a wide range of application requirements: square flanged, round flanged with a servo coupling, and hollow shaft for a direct motor shaft coupling. All types offer different options for the shaft/hole diameter. The electrical connection is composed of 3 M12 connectors.

The innovative electronic construction technology—with no mechanical gears—allows the potential for high acceleration and speed values as well as a long transducer life.
The MEM series magnetic absolute encoder reaches high acceleration and speed values thanks to its innovative electronics and construction. The unit has an extended lifespan since it uses no mechanical gears.
The MEM series encoders are available in single- or in multi-turn versions, with high resolution values up to 13 bits info/revolution (corresponding to 8192 info/rev.) x 15 bits rev. (corresponding to 32768 rev.), in binary or Gray code.
Multi-turn MEM encoders provide an SSI serial output signal, while the single-turn version offers two output options: SSI or a push-pull parallel signal.
Several mechanical versions are available to satisfy a wide range of application requirements. These include round flange, square flange, and hollow shaft, with various options for the shaft diameter and connection position and type.
The EMA series single turn absolute encoder operates according to the magnetic principle: the rotation of a permanent magnet placed on the encoder shaft generating a sinusoidal magnetic field in 360 degrees. The encoder's electronic circuitry outputs the absolute position.
EMA encoders offer substantial resistance to vibrations and shocks and protect against environmental agents. These characteristics make them useful for applications in industrial environments with oil, dust, water, or solvents.
EMA encoders' price/performance ratio makes them the logical choice in situations where cost containment is a requirement.
The EMA series absolute magnetic encoders have a resolution ranging between 4 and 13 bit, binary code, SSI serial output and supply 5/24, 10/24 or 5/24 Vdc. Many different mechanical versions are available including round flanged, servo-coupling, standard flange RE0444, square flanged, hollow shaft encoders. EMA series encoders come in a plastic or metal case (series REMA).
Compact sized REC-VA series encoders fit any application that requires short body dimensions.
REC-VA encoders are available with different mechanical versions: with round flange and servo coupling (type REC520/REC540), square flange (REC620) or hollow shaft, with (REC450) or without elastic support (REC440).
REC-VA cases are built of durable aluminum and they use reliable M12 type connections.
Elap REC-VA series encoders deliver 0-10V, 360° analog output signals with 9 bit resolution.
Elap RM36 series encoders operate on a magnetic principle where one single diametrically polarized magnet activates Hall sensors integrated in the ASIC. The sensors run "contactless," delivering increased accuracy and a virtually endless mechanical life.
The RM36 series encoders are tough, resistant to vibrations and shocks, and easy to mount. Their small size and compact design allow them to be employed in a wide range of applications.
The aluminum case grants a high degree of protection (IP64) making them fit for use in harsh environments with dust or grease.
The RM36 series encoders can be supplied in both absolute and incremental versions with different output formats.
The RM22 series encoders from Elap operate on a magnetic principle where one single diametrically polarized magnet activates Hall sensors integrated in the ASIC. The sensors run "contactless," delivering increased accuracy and a virtually endless mechanical life.
The RM22 series encoders are tough, resistant to vibrations and shocks, and easy to mount. Their small size and compact design allow them to be employed in a wide range of applications.
