Encoder measures where others fear to
tread
Noncontact magnetic sensing delivers reliability in applications too dusty, dirty, greasy or destructive for optical encoders, and provides OEMs with major cost savings.
The LM10 linear magnetic encoder brings 100m travel and fit-and-forget reliability to demanding high-speed precision applications The solid-state, noncontact design features a compact IP68 rated readhead that rides at up to 1.5mm from the self-adhesive magnetic strip scale

Program editor software extends CAD support
Active Editor Pro dramatically increases the number of users who can benefit from its simple programming style, by adding support for CAD models from a large variety of CAD formats.
The noncontact magnetic sensing delivers reliability in applications too dusty, dirty, greasy or destructive for optical encoders, and provides OEMs with major cost savings.
Installation is simplified with an integral setup LED, wide installation tolerances and an applicator tool for the scale/reference mark.
The reference mark can either be ordered at a fixed position or it can be applied by the user with the applicator tool supplied.
Offering great application versatility, the LM10 linear magnetic encoder comes in digital or analogue output variants and offers a range of customer-selectable resolutions including 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100um options.
The LM10 delivers high speed operation of up to 25m/s (4m/s at 1um resolution).
Engineered for service in extreme conditions, the solid-state LM10 linear encoder offers operating temperatures from -20 to +85C, waterproof sealing to IP68, together with high resistance to shock, vibrations, and pressure.
The noncontact, frictionless design eliminates wear while reducing hysteresis for high precision at high speed and acceleration.
The LM10 linear magnetic encoders bring reliable solutions to applications in hostile environments such as woodworking, stone-cutting, sawing, metalworking, textiles, packaging, paper and converting, plastics processing, automation and assembly systems, laser/flame/water-jet cutting and electronic chip/board production.
Manufactured in Slovenia by Renishaw's partner company RLS, the LM10 linear magnetic encoder joins a proven family of rotary magnetic encoders and is supported worldwide through Renishaw's extensive global network of offices. Request a free brochure from Renishaw ...
