SRE: Subsea Rotary Encoder

Deep sea capable, Wasoc's SRE (Subsea Rotary Encoder) is ideal for applications where precise measurement of both position and direction of movement is needed. Quadrature output is standard across scientific and industrial systems making integration convenient. Anodized aluminum housing and rugged design ensures reliable performance in harsh subsea conditions.


The SRE's quadrature encoder measures the rotational position of a shaft and converts mechanical rotations into output waveforms. EAch waveform (A and B) are offset 90 degrees and have 240 pulses per revolution. A maximum of 480 discrete positions can be sensed over 360 degrees.


Waveform information allows users to track how many times a shaft has turned and in which direction, providing insight on position and speed of a rotating component like a motor shaft, pulley, or gear.


The core components of the SRE can be repackaged to accomodate OEM applications or user-specified conditions such as higher axial or radial loads.
