The Prox Encoder  18mm and 30mm
"NON-CONTACT!" Rotational Sensors

Joral is pushing non-contact encoders to a new and smaller level.  Our innovative Hockey Puck non-contact technology has been applied to standard sensor packages of 18 and 30mm diameters.  These encoders mount like a prox sensor, but are actually high resolution encoders.  They come complete with LED indicators showing power and encoder status signals.
These encoders are magnetically based sensors that do not require a mechanical connection or shaft coupling.  No more shaft problems.  No more worn bearings. Our Hockey Puck sensing technology tolerates misalignment and distance variations.
  • Senses Rotation non-contact

  • Threaded Barrel

  • Up to 3000 RPM.  Up to 8192 positions per revolution

  • Easy Installation

  • LED Indicators

  • Absolute Position or Incremental Outputs

  • Rugged-Duty Construction

Joral Introduces Non-Contact Encoder.

Joral has developed a patent pending revolutionary new encoder called the Hockey Puck. It is non-contact to the measuring surface and compensates for mechanical misalignment. It has no shaft or bearings so the problems of drag, endplay, corrosion, side loading, and push-out have been eliminated. The user mounts a magnet on the rotating object and locates the encoder close by. Precise mounting is not required, as it will tolerate changes in distance, centering and planer tilt. This is important as the machine wears over time. Non-contact means vibration and shock from the mechanics are not transmitted directly to the electronics in the encoder. This new device will surely change the use of encoders in rough applications. Designer Kits available... Order One Today!

Magnet Assemblies make Installations a Breeze

Joral is supplying several types of magnet assemblies for use with the non-contact 'Hockey Puck' and 'Prox Encoder' lines.  High quality magnets are packaged in forms that assist in installation and ensure a good magnetic sensing field for the encoder.  Two types are shown.  The Bolt style provides a magnet pressed into the head end of a bolt so the bolt can be threaded, pushed or mated with the end of a rotating shaft.  The Sleeve or Collar style can be slide over a shaft and contains two separate magnets to provide a very strong field and provide a high degree of separation to the encoder.  Contact Joral for your special needs.

Position, Speed and Distance Applications

Our Joral non-contact encoders are 8192 times better than a prox sensor! Even so, they are not designed to be used for every encoder application. The non-contact encoders have a maximum speed of about 3000 rpm and typically in the area of 1/3 of a degree of resolution, depending on the strength of the magnets and their placement. The encoders are very rugged, sealed, resistant to chemicals, can be washdown and are generally used in applications where the environment often destroys other encoders. Here is a quick snapshot of a few typical applications.
