About BEI Duncan Electronics
Duncan Electronics is a division of BEI Technologies, Inc. Duncan began more than 30 years ago by designing and manufacturing precision potentiometers to stringent military and commercial requirements and continues now to serve as a major sensor provider in the emerging motion control marketplace. Duncan also draws upon the diverse technologies of parent BEI Technologies, Inc., including accelerometers, rate gyroscopes, rate sensors and micro-machined products.
Duncan Electronics develops cost-effective and reliable "contact" and "non-contacting" sensors (position, indicating, resistive or voltage reading devices, including encoders) for a broad range of applications:
- Automation
- Automotive
- Avionics
- Consumer products
- Heavy equipment
- Industrial machine tool controls
- Instrumentation
- Marine
- Robotics
Duncan's products fill an important niche wherever there is a need for low-cost, accurate position measurements that require extreme durability in an unusual or space-conscious location.
BEI Duncan Encoders offer an excellent choice of Modular, Kit and Enclosed Shaft Encoder designs ideally suited for a wide variety of applications. Duncan offers its traditional responsiveness and packaging strengths across its encoder product line and capabilities. Here, the advantages of combining encoder/potentiometer or other functions into innovative packaging designs that will fit exactly where needed, all at low cost, with reliable long-service life, can give you the edge in design and lower total cost of ownership.
Duncan's in-depth engineering design, mechanical packaging, manufacturing track record and quality performance reflect the highest standards of their ISO-9001 and QS-9000 certification. Duncan provides an excellent perspective on the price/performance tradeoffs between contact and non-contact sensing technologies, enabling the company to advise customers on the break points for using one type of sensor over another. |
