Huebner Encoders Supplied by Vento Industrial Solutions
Vento Industrial Solutions are proud distributors of Huebner Encoders.
When only the best will do it has to be Huebner.
Huebner offers a range of heavy-duty Tacho Generators & Encoders with advanced Technology Signally for the most demanding applications. These days encoders not only give you feedback for shaft speed but can offer a variety of functions such as position reference and memory.
The U-One®
Huebner Giessen provides U-ONE® and EGS 41® with functional safety
Certification according to IEC 61508 SIL 2 (software) and EN ISO 13849-1 PL d (software and hardware)
Current safety regulations for cranes require a safety analysis of the electrical control system.
A determined failure of the control system must lead to a safe controlled over-speed signal.
Therefore the safety-related measure must comply with SIL level 2, otherwise, the complete safety circuit must be improved by adding additional components and monitoring functions.
As of now the basic device U-ONE® fulfils these safety functions.
With its 12 different electronic, functional modules (incremental output, BUS coupled absolute positions equipped with all BUS interfaces, a synchronisation module, over speed monitoring, Electronic position switch for positioning and so forth) this solution offers certified reliable measuring systems for cranes.
A variety of connection options such as cables or optical fibre and all the modules to go with them make the Huebner Giessen range of products popular with electrical engineers.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between an incremental and absolute encoder?
- Incremental encoders output pulses proportional to movement and must be referenced to a home position on start-up. Absolute encoders report the exact shaft position at every moment, even after a power cycle.
- Are Hübner encoders certified for functional safety?
- Yes — the safety range carries SIL 2 / PL d ratings suitable for crane hoist overspeed protection, lift drives and other safety-related motion control.
- Can you supply hollow-shaft encoders for direct mounting on motor end-shafts?
- Yes — Hübner hollow-shaft variants mount directly on the motor non-drive-end shaft and eliminate the need for couplings.
