Are There Encoders Suitable for High-temperature Motors?

Currently, all closed-loop stepper motors sold by STEPPERONLINE:

The working temperature of the encoders is 0–50°C. In extreme cases, -10°C can also be supported. The motor operating temperature range is also -10°C to 50°C, which is suitable for most working environments.


If you require an encoder that supports high-temperature environments, is it possible to customize one for these high-temperature motors?

Unfortunately, we do not recommend this customization for the following reasons:


  1. The highest temperature resistance available for encoders on the market is around 100°C, and their performance is not very stable.
  2. Most internal components of encoders are not designed for high-temperature environments. Even with custom development, many parts would need to be modified, and it may involve new mold development, which would significantly increase production costs.
