New Generation IXARC Multiturn Kit Encoders for Stepper Motors

Built on TMR technology, IXARC modular encoders offer 18-bit resolution and multiturn variants with self-powered counting via ASIC and Wiegand sensors—no gears or batteries needed! Easy to install and ideal as drop-in replacements for most common optical kit encoders such as the E5 (US Digital) and HEDS-5500 (Broadcom), they support SSI and BiSS-C interfaces, making them a smart upgrade for stepper motors and rotating machinery. 

  • 18-bit Singleturn Resolution 
    Achieve precise positioning accuracy with high-resolution feedback, even at low speeds. 
  • Multiturn Tracking Without Batteries 
    A self-powered rotation counter using Wiegand technology ensures continuous tracking—no gears, no batteries, no maintenance. 
  • Faster Installation 
    Preassembled encoders simplify setup—saving time and reducing errors during integration. 
  • Easy, Drop-in Replacement 
    Designed to fit standard NEMA stepper motor housings, making them a direct substitute for incremental encoders. 
  • Compact, Robust Design 
    With a footprint of just 36 mm diameter, these encoders are built to withstand dust, moisture, and vibration. 
  • Open-Source Digital Interfaces 
    Support for both SSI and BiSS-C ensures compatibility with most PLCs and industrial control systems. 
  • Industrial-Grade Performance 
    Proven in thousands of demanding applications including roboticspackaging, automation systems, and machine tools.
