H38 Absolute Explosion-Proof Encoder
This is the same Explosion Proof rated encoder as the
H38 Incremental, in an absolute encoder version with
output up to 13 bits of resolution. When your application
needs the ability to recover position information quickly
after a power loss and you are operating in a hazardous
area—the H38 may be the answer to your needs.
