Transducers / Linear Encoders and Digital Readouts (DROs)
If you work in machinery and metrology, we can show you what our linear encoders and a Newall DRO system can do for you. Newall manufacturers absolute encoders, incremental encoders (transducer, linear scale, feedback encoder) and digital readout systems. Our DRO systems are built to last, and available in a wide range of models and options.

Enhance productivity with a Newall digital encoder, or digital readout. We can supply you with an incremental, absolute or distance coded linear encoder. Our analog and digital encoders provide precise measurement and reliability. Plus, all Newall encoders are rated IP67 (fully submersible). Unlike glass scales, they require no maintenance, air purging or cleaning. Some of the additional benefits include:

• Industry standard output protocols compatible with most DRO, CNC, PLC and PC systems
• Absolute and Incremental outputs
• Accuracies to ±3µm and Resolutions to 0.1µm
• Travels to 11 meters and fast update rates
• Withstand dust, dirt, chips, coolant, oil and other harsh shop / environmental conditions
• Rated IP67 (fully submersible, completey sealed)
• Inch-based resolutions available (500 line, etc.)
• Tolerant to shock, vibration and magnetic interference
• Easy installation with no backer bar or machined surface required
• No mechanical wear characteristics
• No more broken glass scale or scratched glass scales

Designed for use with the Spherosyn™ and Microsyn™ linear encoders, Newall’s digital readout systems will improve your bottom line with productivity enhancing features and leading edge technology. Their slim profile, die cast chassis and wipe-clean panels provide excellent solutions for any machine application. They’re affordable, easy to use and built to last.

Along with new installations, our digital readout units are an excellent choice in retrofitting machine tools.

We've been producing digital readouts and linear encoders since 1963, and maintain ISO 9001 certification. For the best linear measurement trust Newall’s linear encoders and digital readout systems.
