Netzer Precision is a specialist manufacturer of high-accuracy, contactless rotary encoders based on its patented Electric Encoder™ capacitive technology. Founded in 1998, the company develops and produces aerospace, defense, and medical-grade absolute position sensing solutions that deliver exceptional precision, reliability, and long-term stability for advanced motion-control applications.
Netzer offers a best-in-class performance-to-SWAP (Size, Weight, and Power) ratio at a highly competitive cost point, making its solutions particularly attractive for demanding applications where performance, weight, space, and budget are critical considerations.
Its hollow-shaft, low-profile encoders provide optical-class accuracy without the fragility of optical sensors and are inherently immune to magnetic interference. The contactless design eliminates mechanical wear, minimizes drift, and ensures long-term stability in harsh and demanding environments.
For humanoid robotics, Netzer’s technology aligns closely with the requirements of next-generation joint actuation systems. The combination of high precision, low weight, EMI immunity, and compact integration makes these encoders ideal for hips, knees, shoulders, and wrist modules. Low-noise position feedback is essential for balance, dexterity, and safe human interaction. As humanoid robots progress toward real-world deployment, Netzer’s encoder architecture provides the reliability, accuracy, and control fidelity required for robust, full-body motion and long-term operational performance.
