About
About Encoder Products Company
Encoder Products Company develops optical and magnetic motion-feedback devices at its vertically integrated headquarters in Sagle, Idaho. The catalogue spans shaft, thru-bore, motor-mount, programmable and absolute rotary encoders, along with Tru-Trac linear-measurement assemblies and custom replacements. The company manufactures and tests its products in a 100,000-square-foot facility and supports millions of standard configurations.
For autonomous vehicles and robots, EPC maps encoders to lift control, drive motors and steering assemblies, including absolute feedback for 360-degree steering position. Its robotics material also covers palletizers, pick-and-place cells and SCARA systems. Founded in 1969, the company supports international customers through a UK subsidiary and an Indian manufacturing partner.
