Encoders for condition-based maintenance
Production downtime is costly—but often preventable.
Encoder diagnostics provide early insight into the condition of your drive system, making it possible to detect deviations and act before failures occur. By providing relevant diagnostics, encoders today are so much more than just encoders—through built-in condition monitoring, they enable predictive maintenance, improved performance, and more reliable, problem-free operation.
Product range
Detect problems before they cause downtime
Encoders are installed on motors, drive shafts, and other critical rotating components—making them ideal for condition monitoring in industrial systems.
With encoder diagnostics, you can:
- Detect mechanical imbalance
- Identify early signs of bearing wear
- Monitor vibration, temperature, and operating conditions
- Track performance across your production line
This enables you to take action before small deviations develop into serious faults.
From data to actionable insights
Modern encoders do more than measure motion—they provide valuable diagnostic information.
By analysing parameters such as vibration (radial and axial), temperature, speed, frequency, and time in motion, you can:
- Set custom thresholds and alarm limits
- Receive early warnings of abnormal conditions
- Analyse trends and compare deviations over time
- Make informed maintenance decisions
All data is stored in the encoder and easily accessible when needed.
Our product range of encoders for condition-based maintenance
Leine Linde’s Advanced Diagnostic SystemTM (ADS) includes a range of encoder-based solutions that support condition monitoring, fault detection, and data-driven maintenance.
From built-in diagnostics to multi-sensor monitoring and wireless access, each solution provides increasing levels of insight and connectivity—helping you prevent downtime and optimise performance.
ADSTM Uptime
Wireless diagnostics and IIoT integration
ADS Uptime and ADS Uptime Lite are Leine Linde solutions for condition and environment monitoring of industrial rotary encoders in demanding industrial applications. They provide clear insight into encoder status, operating conditions, and external influences that affect performance, reliability, and service life throughout the machine lifecycle.
ADS Uptime supports a condition-based maintenance (CBM) approach by combining encoder diagnostics with environmental monitoring.
Key benefits:
- Early detection of unfavourable operating conditions
- Improved understanding of how installation environment affects machine performance
- Optimized service and maintenance planning
- Reduced risk of unplanned downtime and costly machine stops
ADSTM Online
Multi-sensor monitoring with real-time data
ADS Online extends encoder functionality by combining multiple sensors in a single device. It continuously monitors environmental and operational parameters and provides real-time diagnostics data to your systems.
Key benefits:
- Integrated monitoring of vibration, speed, frequency, temperature, and supply voltage
- Continuous data collection and automatic analysis of deviations
- Real-time access via industrial Ethernet communication
- Recommendations for maintenance actions
ADSTM Classic
Built-in diagnostics for early fault detection
ADS Classic is the foundation of the ADS system, developed to detect internal faults in rotary encoders at an early stage. It provides essential condition monitoring to help identify deviations in your drive system.
Key benefits:
- Early detection of encoder and installation-related faults
- Reliable performance in demanding process industries
- Improved uptime through preventive action
