30HI Incremental Encoder

30 HI Incremental EncoderThis encoder uses marine quality Stainless Steel and a novel sealing configuration to improve dramatically it's corrosion resistance and reliability when used in above deck naval applications.


The Series 30HI encoder was originally developed to solve a specific problem for a customer who installs measurement equipment for the Royal Navy. Previous encoder types from a variety of manufacturers suffered badly from a combination of corrosion and ingress of seawater due to the exposed location of the equipment.

New design features include a novel body sealing configuration which together with improved material selection has proved a great success in an extremely demanding environment.

The 30HI can be supplied in the following formats :
