Position and Motion Sensors
High Precision IXARC Rotary EncodersMotion control applications – ranging from factory
automation to mobile machinery – require accurate,
realtime information about the location of mechani-
cal components. The IXArc line of absolute rotary
encoders provide precise and reliable measure-
ment of the angular positions of joints, drive shafts,
pulleys, etc... Available electronic connections range
from simple analog or incremental outputs to sophis-
ticated fieldbus and Industrial ethernet interfaces.
Absolute and Incremental Technology Optical and Magnetic Encoders up to 16bit
Compact Industrial TILTIX InclinometersAccurate measurement of tilt or inclination is very
important for motion control and safety systems. In-
clinometers provide single or dual-axis angle mea-
surement in an economical package. relying on
gravity for their measurement, these sensors have
no exposed moving parts, resulting in easy installa-
tion and high environmental protection.
High Accuracy of 0.1° and Resolution of 0.01° Measurement Range ±80° (Dual Axis) or 360° (Single Axis)
Versatile LINARIX Linear SensorsMany applications require linear motion to be mo-
nitored for system control or to ensure safety.
With lengths ranging from 1 m to 10 m (3’ to 33’),
LInArIX draw wire sensors are available in many
configurations to meet an application’s require-
ments. options include a wide variety of outputs
(including analog, fieldbus and ethernet variants),
heavy duty housings and compact designs.
Absolute Position Measurement with Resolutions up to 2 µm
Variety of Materials
Wide Selection of AccessoriesposITAL offers a wide variety of accessories that
simplify sensor installation. Mating connectors of
different styles and lengths ensure proper electrical
connections. using appropriate mounting accesso-
ries minimize wear and tear on encoders and help
to ensure a long and reliable life cycle. Interface
modules and displays are also available to provide
users with immediate access to measurements.

Cranes
Cranes and other construction machinery are required to be safe, efficient and reliable.
positioning is of prime importance, and redundant systems are often used to de-
termine errors. To address this requirement the IXArc sIL-2 or redundant
encoders are an excellent fit, combining redundant measurement
with an easy-to-integrate interface.

Arm / Boom Extension
Trucks with long boom extensions such as fire trucks or concrete pumps
have to reach to high-rise buildings, often over large obstacles. IXArc
rotary encoders can be mounted directly on the rotational joints to
provide data for active damping systems. TILTIX single or dual
axis inclinometers can be used to monitor the position of
the boom arm or for base leveling.
IP69K Sensors, High Pressure and Temperature Resistant
Easy Communication with CANopen Interface
Rotary Encoders for Rotational Positioning ▪ shaft Load up to 300 n
▪ salt Water resistant
▪ optional stainless steel housing
Inclinometers for Tilt Measurement of the Boom ▪ single Axis (360°), dual Axis
(±80°)

Scissor Lifts and Aerial Work Platforms
IndusTrIes
scissor lifts need constant tilt monitoring to
prevent tip-overs, an easy job for the dual axis
TILTIX inclinometers. IXArc rotary encoders
and LInArIX linear sensors are ideal for situ-
ations where the height of the lift needs to be
known.

Heavy Duty EncodersposITAL‘s absolute and incremental encoders
feature a unique combination of high performance
and rugged durability that make them ideal for the
most demanding motion and speed control appli-
cations. IXArc magnetic encoders can withstand
high shock loads (up to 300 g) and are also much
less vulnerable to dust or moisture contamination
than encoders built around optical disk technology.
heavy-duty bearings are available which enable
these units to withstand shaft loads of up to 300 n
as well as high-pressure washdown.
posITAL offers now a new heavy duty incremen-
tal encoder which can withstand even higher shaft
loads of up to 350 n. The encoder weighs up to 5 kg
and has a V4A stainless steel housing making it ide-
al for offshore applications. Its housing design and
dimensions allow also for easy mounting of various
switches and drives. Robust & Water Proof Absolute and Incremental Encoders
Long Mechanical Life Time
Tough Enough for the Harshest Environments
Unique Applications − Unique SensorsIn mobile machinery success is only possible when
safety, efficiency and reliability are combined.
posITAL encoders can be used in a variety of ap-
plications to accomplish these goals such as mo-
nitoring the stability of a platform and the careful
positioning of boom arms and blasting equipment.
To be effective, sensors must withstand years of
impact, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures and
inclement weather.
posITAL sensors are as unique as their applica-
tions. An online product finder helps users navi-
gate options for housing size and material, flange
configuration, shaft type and diameter, connection/
wiring type and level of environmental protection. In
total posITAL offers over one million sensors and
300,000 product specific data sheets in 11 different
languages. Versatile Product Finder for Easy Selection Large Variety of Mechanical Designs and Electrical Connections

FRABA GroupfrAbA is a group of enterprises focused on provi-
ding advanced products for the motion control and
industrial automation markets. posITAL has been
a leading manufacturer of industrial rotary enco-
ders for over 50 years and recently has expanded
its business to tilt and linear motion sensors. other
frAbA group subsidiaries include VITecTor
which focuses on protection sensors to guard doors
and production machine covers.
History frAbA was founded by franz baumgartner in co-
logne, germany, in 1918. until the 1960s, frAbA’s
main product was mechanical relays. In 1963
frAbA started selling “brush” absolute encoders
and in 1973 FRABA introduced one the first non-
contact, optical absolute rotary encoders. Today,
frAbA companies specialize in innovative products
that use advanced technologies to deliver excep-
tional performance and value.
ServicePOSITAL’s unique online product finder is provi-
ding access to a huge variety of solutions without
requiring specialized knowledge. Many hundred
thousand specific datasheets are available in 11 lan-
guages and easy to browse. The traditional practi-
ce of customization has been replaced by this new
approach to a large extent. furthermore experienced
engineers are available in europe, north America
and Asia at different locations to support the large
global network of distributors and customers within
their time zone and in many languages.
ProductionposITAL products are manufactured in advanced
production facilities. The computer-guided semi-
automated production system tracks each device
from order, through assembly and testing, to final de-
livery. even with hundred thousands of unique con-
figurations available, standard products are ready
to ship within five working days of receiving an order.
