EPC is Proud to Announce "Superseal"; The Encoder Designed to Handle Your Worst Nightmare
Using optical shaft encoders in nasty environments - caustic, fine dust, saline, and the like - has always been, at best, a chancy proposition. The electronics and other critical components at the heart of an optical encoder do not lend themselves to being used in these types of difficult environments. At least that used to be the case, but Superseal, the encoder designed by Encoder Products Company (EPC) specifically for your worst nightmare, goes a long way towards solving that problem. Built on the time tested and ultra reliable Model 725 Size 25 Optical Shaft Encoder platform, Superseal starts by adding double o-rings to the case seal and two Teflon seals to the bearing assembly, but it doesn't stop there. A double case, sealed encoder within a sealed encoder design, means that, even if the nasty stuff gets past the first layer of protection, extra layers still won't let it reach the critical components. Add to that still more sealing around the cable ports...
