Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has developed new linear encoders that feature a special stainless steel scale, ultralow ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics and ±4μm accuracy to deliver the ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

Offering high reliability and safety, the LIC 4000 series linear position encoders integrate a multi-substrate scale tape with absolute encoder technology, which provides position immediately at ...

The MS 15 optical kit style encoder is only 36 mm x 13.5mm x 14.8 mm in size. It provides a 40 micron grating pitch on an 8 mm wide steel tape carrier that has a double-stick backing for mounting ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - May 12, 2015) - NUMERIK JENA's LIK 41 kit-style optical linear encoder is ideally suited for those motion feedback applications where space is limited. The scanning unit ...

HEIDENHAIN’s new LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system, consisting of a scanning unit and glass scale, has the unusual capability to measure to 2 nm resolution with high speed of 4m/sec at long ...
