HARSH-DUTY OPTICAL ENCODERS

Danaher Industrial Controls Group (DICG) announced an expansion of its NorthStar brand of heavy duty encoders with a new line of harsh-duty optical encoders designed for washdown and intrinsically safe environments. The new line’s five encoder models -the HD20, HD25, HSD23, HSD38 and DWD38 – are the first optical products in the NorthStar brand. A double-labyrinth sealed housing enables the encoders to achieve ratings of IP66/IP67 and NEMA 4X or NEMA 6.
