Linear Encoders

Linear Encoder suits straightforward motion applications.

Exposed linear encoders of LIDA 200 series can be mounted via scale tape then secured directly on mounting surface via its adhesive film. Alternatively, series can be mounted by means of scale tape carrier extrusion, along with supplied adhesive and clamping mechanism for thermal effects. Encoders have 200 -µm grating period for analog systems and are available with 0.5, 1, and 5 -µm signal...

Linear Encoders

Optical Encoders deliver up to 50 nm resolution.

Models RG2 (20 -µm) and RG4 (40 -µm) are open, non-contact linear encoders that combine cut-and-tape steel scale with side-lit filtering optics, offering immunity to dirt, dust, and contamination. Along with choice of clocked outputs to promote controller compatibility, products feature overspeed as well as low-signal alarms. Other features include RGE and RGB interfaces and readheads with...

Linear Encoders employ multiple scanning units.

HEIDENHAIN LC scales are suited for use with machine concepts where more than one slide is moving along machine axis through directly driven linear axes. Absolute linear encoders with multiple scanning units feature bi-directional, digital EnDat 2.2 interface, which is capable of outputting absolute position values as well as requesting or updating information stored in encoder. Other absolute...
