What is Kubler GNU2-EX?
The Kubler GNU2-EX is a high-speed incremental encoder with high performance for applications in tough industrial environments. It translates mechanical motion into accurate electrical signals to allow precise measurement of position and speed. As one of Kubler’s solid sets of motion control solutions, the encoder stands out due to its strength, signal quality, and compatibility in explosive environments, hence applicable in harsh and hazardous applications.
Its EX rating guarantees it’s ATEX and IECEx certified, making it safe for use in Zone 1 and Zone 21 areas where explosive dusts or gases could be present. The encoder is typically installed on motors, shafts, or moving machinery where motion feedback in real time is essential.
