Dynapar
Dynapar is a Gurnee, Illinois-based manufacturer of rotary encoders and resolvers, recognized by the readers of Control Design magazine as the number one supplier of encoders and resolvers three years running, operating as part of Fortive Corporation’s sensing and productivity solutions portfolio. The company produces one of the most comprehensive encoder catalogs in North America — covering incremental and absolute rotary encoders in shaft, hollow-shaft, hub-shaft, miniature, bearingless, non-contact, and hazardous area configurations, along with housed and frameless resolvers spanning size 10 through 55 — alongside its newer HS35iQ smart encoder with PulseIQ technology, which delivers on-board fault detection for insufficient voltage, cable integrity, coupling slip, overspeed, electronic failure, and over/under temperature conditions directly at the encoder. Operating under the Dynapar, NorthStar, Harowe, and Hengstler brands, the company serves motor feedback, elevator, factory automation, oil and gas, steel, rail, and aerospace and defense markets, with an online 24/7 e-catalog, a competitor part crossover guide, and application engineers available directly to support encoder selection and custom design requirements.
