Adding to its growing family of dependable, durable position sensors, BEI Industrial Encoder Division introduces a new line of linear encoders.
The encoder's sealed read head completely surrounds the scale, eliminating the risk of the critical gap between sensor and scale varying with speed.
With onboard digital signal processing (DSP) capability, the LN boasts traverse times of up to 20m/s.
This is twice the speed available from most glass or magnetic linear encoders.
Rapid feedback response allows for shorter production times and higher efficiency for the entire process.
Standard measuring resolutions of 0.5 to 10um are available.
Scale measuring lengths range from as small as 2in to as long as 36ft.
The LN linear encoder operates between 5 and 28V DC and is equipped with either line driver or open collector outputs.
Universal mounting adapters and a variety of standard electrical interfaces make them easy to integrate into a control system.
