Avtron™ Encoder develops, manufactures incremental and absolute encoders of the highest quality for the most diverse industrial applications.
Avtron encoders are the world's best-selling brand for heavy-duty use but not only… !
In fact, we also offer cost-optimized encoders for standard industrial applications.
In addition, a wide range of encoders for use in hazardous areas with ATEX approval are available.

We sell to almost every industry from pulp and paper mills to metal fabrication/processing, mining, wind energy, cranes, hoists and lifting equipment, conveyor belts, oil and gas. gas.

Avtron Manufacturing Inc., was founded in 1953 in Ohio (USA), to provide valuable test solutions to the aerospace industry and started developing feedback devices in 1964 with a total focus on accuracy and reliability.
In 2012, Avtron became part of Nidec Corporation.

Why Avtron Encoders?
The Avtron brand is synonymous with high reliability in terms of enormous reduction in cases and machine downtime due to breakdowns, also considering the rapid reactivity of the Help Desk service.
The magnetic sensing principle and Avtron mechanical design result in the following technical advantages:

Greater/maximum reliability, as magnetic encoders are insensitive to the effects of dirt, dust, oil, humidity, etc., which could compromise the operation of optical encoders
Increased shock and vibration resistance, as sensitive parts such as plastic/metal/glass incremental pulse disks are not used
Metal housing, with corrosion protection, metal rotor made of stainless steel

On most models we point out:

Fully integrated adaptive electronics with diagnostics for continuous signal monitoring.
Cable lengths up to 300m with short circuit/polarity/over voltage protection
Use of largely oversized (insulating) bearings, or versions without bearings with MTBF >500,000h
short delivery times
maximum customer orientation
possibility of producing customized variants.
