Industrial grade position feedback for IoT: Wachendorff announces promotional pricing offer for absolute shaft encoders with Industrial Ethernet interfacing

Available for Variohm EuroSensor’s UK and Ireland customers, a new promotional price offer from
Wachendorff covers the leading German industrial encoder and precision automation component
manufacturers’ wide range of Industrial Ethernet (IE) based absolute shaft encoders. With its unique
patented magnetic technology, WDGA series absolute encoders offer exceptionally high-precision position
and velocity measurement with extreme durability and long life in single- or multi-turn versions with up to 16-
bit resolution single and 43 bit multi turn. A comprehensive choice of industrial interface options includes
PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT and a recently introduced Universal-IP versions which feature user-
selectable PROFINET-IO and EtherCAT protocols.

Wachendorff’s WDGA series promotional offer for industrial Ethernet versions is available for
sample orders received up to the 31st December 2019. As a longstanding distribution partner for
Wachendorff, Variohm provide comprehensive support for its entire range and promise special
promotional pricing for new applications. Interested system integrators and OEMs should contact
Sales at Variohm EuroSensor on +44 1327 351004 or email [email protected] for further
details. Customers are expected to provide project application details and projected quantities.

Wachendorff’s high precision and highly dynamic absolute encoders are considerably less
sensitive to vibrations in machines and systems thanks to their unique and patented QuattroMag®
and EnDra® technologies for single-turn and multi-turn versions. An angular measurement
accuracy of +/- 0.09° and a dynamic range of 50 µsec combines with exceptional levels of
robustness to outperform optical absolute encoders.

Variohm EuroSensor also supply and support Wachendorff absolute encoders with alternative
interfacing including CANopen, SAE J1939, SSI, and RS485 in addition to its comprehensive
incremental encoder range. Further information is available at www.variohm.com or by calling +44
