FLUX GmbH Launches IND-MAX Inductive Angle Encoders for Extreme Condition Applications

Oct. 1, 2024 - FLUX GmbH (FLUX), a high-precision encoder company, has announced the launch of IND-MAX, a new range of precise and robust inductive rotary encoders for tough environments.

IND-MAX encoders are available in six sizes ranging from 125mm to 375mm outer diameter, offer a compact low profile form factor with large bore and up to 23 bits resolution. Robust housings are used throughout to ensure reliable operation even under high-shock and vibration, with IP67 rated versions also provided.

Attributes of IND-MAX include:

• High-reliability inductive technology

• True absolute position measurement

• Flat with a large through-hole

• Simple installation: plug & play with no calibration

• Wide operating and mounting tolerances

• Immune to magnetic and electromagnetic disturbance, insensitive to foreign matter

The new IND-MAX product line is ideally suited to extreme environment applications on land, sea and air. Unlike other technologies such as optical and capacitive which can prove unreliable in these conditions, you can rely on FLUX inductive encoders to not let you down.

“We have been successfully providing customer-specific versions of IND-MAX into mission-critical applications for several years,” said Paul Tutzu, managing director and founder of FLUX GmbH. “We are excited to now make this offering available to a wider audience with thousands of options available as standard on short lead-times.”

IND-MAX compliments FLUX’s other encoder product lines which includes the lightweight and compact IND-ROT unpackaged inductive encoders, and two product ranges based on the company’s patented GMI technology (Giant Magneto Impedance).
