A range of stainless steel incremental and absolute linear encoders for applications in the chemical and food industries are now available from Heidenhain

A range of stainless steel incremental and absolute linear encoders for applications in the chemical and food industries, where machine parts may be exposed to aggressive chemicals and therefore endangered by corrosion, are available from Heidenhain of Burgess Hill in West Sussex.

In the food industry, for example, the lactic acids contained in beverage and meat products, as well as the aggressive agents used to clean containers and equipment, place an unconditional requirement for corrosion-free material that can meet hygienic standards.

The increasing degree of automation adopted in these machines and plants, requiring 'open and closed-loop' control tasks, is creating a demand for measuring devices capable of operating under these conditions.

Here, the Heidenhain encoder programme in now able to offer stainless steel versions of its rotary encoders that are available in various mechanical forms with options of synchro-flange or clamping flange and a 58 mm housing diameter.

A hollow shaft version, with mounted stator coupling and 58 mm housing diameter, is also available with the 1-Vpp, TTL or HTL interfaces commonly used in industry.
