Summary
Encoder Products Company (EPC) designs, manufactures and assembles rotary encoders in Sagle, Idaho, and says it controls every production step. The website says it has operated for 57 years and has completed over a thousand custom designs. Its catalog covers incremental and absolute rotary encoders (shaft, thru-bore, motor-mount and stainless models), programmable incrementals, safety encoders, and linear measurement products, with absolute interfaces including EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, SSI, CANopen, SAE J1939, IO-Link and BiSS. It lists “Autonomous Vehicles & Robots” as an application and offers a motion-feedback brochure for that market, and it partners with European encoder makers for safety-certified, absolute and draw-wire products. It complements the Encoders section’s coverage of RLS and Renishaw.
