The German company Hohner Elektrotechnik GmbH was founded in 1980 in Werne. Since the company's foundation, it has been fully specialised in the development and production of pulse sensors and their applications in various industries. Many of the technologies developed in the course of the company's continuous growth over the past 35 years are used in various industries such as packaging, food, heavy industry, mechanical engineering, wind power, oil and gas. Hohner Elektrotechnik has a pool of highly qualified employees and all the equipment required to ensure the highest quality production. The company has five fully independent production facilities in Europe and America.
Hohner Elektrotechnik offers encoders with Profibus Class2 interfaces (PS, PSM, PAS, PAM series), CANopen (CNS, CNM series), Profinet (NS and NSM series), DeviceNet (DS, DNM, DAS, DAM series) and Ethernet (ES and ESM series). Other products include the EM Series, CSP24 Series parallel conversion boards for SSI serial encoders, CCV Series encoder signal converters, HP/HPC Series industrial potentiometers, HR5000 Series programmers, HR6000 Series visualizers.
Incremental encoders from Hohner Elektrotechnik are designed to convert the current analogue value of the input shaft angle of rotation into a sequence of electrical pulses. The number of pulses corresponds to the movement and the frequency corresponds to the speed. We offer a wide range of incremental and magnetic encoders - quadrature, sine/cosine, wireless and analogue with a range of 4...20mA and 0...10V and with support for various fieldbus connections (DeviceNet, Profibus etc.). Each incremental encoder series can optionally be provided with reference mark programming, variable connection options, different shaft types and shaft diameters.
Hohner Elektrotechnik linear encoders are used for the measurement and monitoring of movements, dimensions, run-outs, surface positions and profiles, and deformations of technological objects and can operate in an operating temperature range from -40 to +120 degrees.
Absolute encoders perform a unique code for each shaft position. Unlike incremental encoders, a pulse counter is not required because the angle of rotation is always known. Absolute encoders generate the signal both during rotation and at rest. The company offers single-turn and multi-turn encoders, absolute encoders (single-turn synchronous series and single-turn asynchronous series, multi-turn synchronous series and single-turn asynchronous series).
