Encoders for machines and industrial applications.
Hohner
A range of products with CSA, ATEX, IECEx and GOST certification is available, providing encoders that are explosion proof and intrinsically safe, allowing their use in suitably restricted areas. Further developments include a standard encoder rated to 1000m underwater (possibilities extend to 6000m underwater). The drilling rig products include mud flow level return sensors, geolograph (air line retriever), hook load (deadline) sensors, heave compensators (linear displacement sensor) DrawWorks and TopDrive encoders. The safety ratings, extreme depth, and drilling rig products allow use within the petrochemical industries, both production and exploratory.
Product Summary: solid and hollow shaft incremental, multiturn and absolute encoders, wireless, explosion proof and intrinsically safe options, tachometers and submersible series, drilling rig series.
About Hohner Encoders
The Hohner group of companies (www.hohner.com), specialising in optical incremental and absolute encoders, was established in 1980, and now has manufacturing offices in the UK, Italy, Canada, Brazil, and Germany. The companies are specialists in the design and manufacture of optical encoders. Over the years, Hohner have broadened the product range to include high quality reliable absolute single and multi-turn encoders to complement the full range of incremental encoders. Further products added to the range include DeviceNet Encoders, very low temperature (-40ºC), optical sensors for liquid, surface and light, wireless encoders, IP 68 rated encoders and oil drilling rig instrumentation.
The Hohner technologies and patents demonstrate Hohner’s continued growth in the last 30 years and the products are now used in various industrial sectors such as lifting equipment, aerospace, packing, food processing, heavy industry and petrochemicals. Hohner is a customer focused company, constantly striving to improve quality and service.
