Dynapar Announces NorthStar Harsh Duty Optical Encoders

  

Dynapar announced an expansion of its NorthStar™ brand of heavy duty encoders with a new line of harsh-duty optical encoders specifically designed for washdown and intrinsically safe environments.  The new line’s five encoder models – the HD20, HD25, HSD25, HSD38 and DWD38 - are the first optical products in the NorthStar brand, a leader in magneto-resistive technology encoders.  Now users have the performance accuracy and convenience of an optical encoder combined with the ruggedness and durability of the renowned NorthStar brand. These features provide users with a low cost of total ownership, by eliminating or reducing encoder failures.

The new NorthStar optical encoder line will work just as well in steel mill, paper mill, cranes, transportation and textile environments as the brand's traditional magneto-resistive encoders.  More importantly, the new line extends the reach of the NorthStar line into new applications in food and beverage packaging, oil and gas drilling, petrochemical processing and military equipment systems.   Discover more
