Click on the topic heading to learn more about the products HPS supplies. Click here to download a North American Capabilities Brochure
Control Transformers: HPS control transformers are isolation transformers designed to provide a high degree of secondary voltage stability (regulation) during a brief period of overload condition (also referred to as “inrush current”). These units come in open, molded and general purpose enclosed styles.
Drive Isolation Transformers: HPS Drive Isolation Transformers (DIT’s) are mandated to meet NRCan 2019 efficiency standards in Canada, but are exempt in the U.S. from DOE 2016 efficiency standards.
Low Voltage Distribution Transformers: These transformers are generally used for supplying appliance, lighting, heating, motorized machine and power loads from electrical distribution systems.
Reactors: Offer improved performance and reliability that delivers protection for your motors and drives.

Avtron Encoders
Avtron Encoders
Incremental Encoders: The most commonly used type of encoder, it is a type of rotary encoder that generates a series of electrical pulses as the encoder shaft is rotated. The pulses measure the rotational position, speed and direction of the shaft.
Learn more about Incremental Encoders by clicking here
Absolute Encoders: Is a type of rotary encoder that provides absolute position information for the shaft or axis to which it is attached. Absolute encoders provide a unique code or digital word that represents the absolute position of the encoder at any given moment.
Learn more about Absolute Encoders by clicking here
Optical Encoders: A device that converts motion or position into a digital signal by detecting changes in light. It typically consists of a rotating disc that has evenly spaced slots or markings on it, as the disc rotates, the light source shines through the slots or markings and the sensor detects the changes in light intensity which are then converted into electrical signals. These signals are then processed to determine the speed, direction, and position of the rotating disc.

Magnetic encoders: A magnetic encoder refers to an encoder (linear or rotary) that uses magnetoresistive technology to detect the position, speed, or direction of a rotating shaft or linear motion.

Gibson Stainless & Specialty
Gibson Stainless Steel Products
Why Stainless?
BUILT TO LAST:
In areas where corrosion is a concern, stainless steel is often the choice. Stainless steel has a much greater resistance to rust and corrosion than standard carbon steels and greater resistance than coated steels such as hot dip galvanized or zinc plated. The life of stainless steel in a corrosive environment can be 10 to 20 times, or more, longer than carbon steels or iron.
Note: Results after 4-week salt spray test
EASY TO INSTALL:
Gibson Stainless offers threaded rigid conduit and fittings which eliminate extensive installation procedures. These conduit systems can be installed using ordinary hand tools and require very little maintenance or repair.
AESTHETICALLY PLEASING:
Aside from its corrosion resistance, stainless steel has an aesthetic appeal as well. Gibson Stainless products are provided in a bright, polished finish and do not require any maintenance such as touch up or painting.
