Pulse encoders from Leine&Linde are a type of sensor used to feed back speed or position for rotational or linear movements. Encoders are often used on electrical motors in the paper and steel industries, cranes, robots and material handling systems as well as various types of measurement, testing and inspection systems.
The Model 300 series consists of robust and extremely reliable miniature encoders, 30 mm in diameter, designed for installation in applications where space is at a premium. Various types of incremental electrical interfaces including TTL, HTL and RS-422 are supported in the series. Some typical applications are in harvesting apparatus and industrial high-pressure washing equipment. The series’ high encasement level, IP67 and the shock and vibration resistant design guarantee long life and ensure a durable sensor solution with high dependability.
“Versatile” and “modular” are catchwords that differentiate the incremental and absolute encoders in the Model 500 Series of robust encoders. Used in many different types of industrial applications such as electric motors, cranes, elevators and general automation, the series’ mechanical, optical and electrical interfaces have become industry standard. If the standard selection of interfaces does not suit the application’s particular requirements, customised, cost-effective solutions may be provided with short lead times.
Field bus interfaces based on Ethernet, PROFIBUS or CAN are examples of the communication protocols often used in automation. These interfaces are available on the Model 600 Series absolute coded singleturn or multiturn encoders. A robust mechanical design in shaft or hollow shaft design ensures that installation and start-up of these models are always reduced to a minimum. Serial point-to-point interfaces such as EnDat or the popular SSI are examples of other communication interfaces often used for position feedback from absolute coded encoders.
When the most robust, maintenance-free and cost-effective pulse encoder solution is sought after, the encoders in the Model 800 Series are the first choice of the majority of designers. The optional ADS™ (Advanced Diagnostic System) is a built-in system used for condition-based or preventative maintenance, guaranteeing the reliability of the application. Demanding environments and electrically or mechanically stressful installations are circumstances the encoders in the Model 800 Series are often exposed to and for which they are well-protected. Accessories and ready-made design solutions meant to guarantee operation and increase service life which reduce the total cost of the application are also offered as options for the encoder series.
Connectors, shaft couplings, draw-wire units and measuring wheels are just part of Leine&Linde’s line of accessories. Accessory cables, connectors and all the other accessories that can be used in an application should always maintain the same high quality as the encoders Leine&Linde deliver. The best way to guarantee that the accessories are of this high quality is to use only accessories that have been verified regarding operation and performance and are offered as Leine&Linde accessories.
