Vacuum Compatible Encoders

Vacuum-compatible encoders provide precise position feedback in environments where traditional encoders would fail due to outgassing, material limitations, or pressure sensitivity. These encoders are essential for applications in semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, scientific research, and medical equipment, where maintaining a controlled vacuum environment is critical. Electromate offers high-performance capacitive vacuum-compatible encoders from KappaSense, designed for ultra-precise motion control in demanding conditions.
