The H25 series is the flagship of the BEI Sensors product line and was designed from the ground up for the industrial marketplace. The H25 series offers features such as EMI shielding, 40 lb. ABEC 7 bearings, matched thermal coefficients on critical components, and custom high-efficiency optics. The encoder meets NEMA 4 and 13 requirements when ordered with the shaft seal. The H25 encoders are available in absolute or incremental versions, in addition to an incremental programmable option, Model H25 Omnicoder^®, which allows for virtually unlimited resolution variations up to 10,000 PPR. 

Typical applications include machine control, process control, the wood processing industry, oil-well logging, industrial weighing, agricultural machinery, textile equipment, web process control, robotics, and food processing.
