The use of an angle encoder in a test cell is a standard application. Today’s customer expectations are “plug and play”: Easy installation of the encoder, precise and secure measurement of many different values in parallel and highly resolved and reliable data acquisition – these are requirements for all engine types no matter whether they originate from a passenger car, heavy duty vehicle, race car, or two-wheeler.
The Angle Encoder 366C offers you highly accurate results. Thanks to its fiber-optic signal transmission, the mechanics are neither influenced by high temperature nor by high vibration or electrical interference. Additionally, it can operate at loads of up to 500 g permanently, and 1,000 g temporarily. This means that you can use it with the utmost confidence, whatever your application.
With the 366C you can measure both the speed and amount of rotation. When operated in combination with AVL X-ionTM, you can also use the 366C to measure the direction of rotation. This is achieved by monitoring the phase shift during signal evaluation, which can be useful, for example, when measuring the shaft position in stop-start operation. This allows you to know the absolute position of the shaft at any time during operation.
Furthermore, it is electrically compatible with our AVL Advanced GigaBit and AVL IndiMicro series indicating devices. These provide a range of valuable information, excluding direction of rotation.

High Precision
You can make precise and highly resolved measurements from 0 rpm to 20,000 rpm.
High Productivity
When connected to our AVL X-ion modular data acquisition platform, measurements can be done continuously thus increasing productivity.
Increased Functionality
Additional information on the direction of rotation (right - left) can be generated with the evaluation via AVL X-ion.
In-Vehicle Testing
The angle encoder 366C is significantly smaller, lighter and has less inertia than its predecessor. This compact design enables it to be installed and operated in the vehicle.
Integrated Marker Disk
An integrated marker disk with 720 marks enables the live acquisition of the rotation angle at a resolution of 0.5 degrees CA.
Signal-out Plug
Powered by X-ion, it also features an additional signal-out plug for CDM transfers. This can be useful for communicating with test cell systems such as AVL PUMA™.
