Introduction to the Baumer Hübner Berlin Brand
Hübner Berlin, or Hubner Berlin, is a German brand specializing in HeavyDuty sensor solutions for heavy industry, including rotary encoders, tachogenerators, and various types of speed switches and position switches. With more than 80 years of leadership in the global sensor market, Hübner Berlin represents the international standard for highly reliable sensor technology in heavy-industry applications.
Since 2002, the Hübner Berlin brand has been acquired by Baumer Group. To date, Baumer Group continues to supply and develop heavy-industry sensor products under the Baumer Hübner Berlin brand, including industrial encoders, tachogenerators and speed switches, serving applications in harsh operating environments.
Product portfolio of the Baumer Hübner Berlin:
The Baumer Hübner Berlin product portfolio includes industrial encoders, speed measurement devices, position and motion monitoring devices, designed for heavy-industry applications that demand high accuracy and durability, including:
- Absolute encoders and incremental encoders
- Tachogenerators
- Position switches and speed switches
HeavyDuty absolute encoders
HeavyDuty absolute encoders from Hübner Berlin are used to accurately track the position and angle of a rotating shaft in harsh, high-load industrial environments, without needing to return to a reference point or reset after power-up.
Hübner Berlin HeavyDuty absolute encoders come in two main types:
- Single-turn 360° encoders indicate the position of the shaft within one revolution.
- Multi-turn encoders indicate the position of the shaft within each revolution as well as the number of revolutions completed.

HeavyDuty incremental encoder models from Hübner Berlin:
HeavyDuty tachogenerators
A tachogenerator is a device whose output voltage is proportional to rotational speed, used to capture the actual speed value. Hübner Berlin tachogenerators generate voltage using the generator principle, so no auxiliary power supply is needed, while combining fast signal response with high durability.
In drive engineering, Hübner Berlin tachogenerators are used to capture the actual motor speed and serve as a feedback signal for the controller to regulate speed precisely.

HeavyDuty speed switches and centrifugal position switches
Baumer Hübner Berlin HeavyDuty speed switches are used in safety applications, triggering up to 3 switching outputs when the speed exceeds or falls below the set threshold. Hübner Berlin HeavyDuty speed switches and position switches come in two main types:
- Mechanical switches that use centrifugal force at the limit speed to switch
- Electronic switches that process speed-dependent electrical signals.
HeavyDuty speed switch and position switch models from Hübner Berlin:
FS90 / FSL
