The popularity of a sensor can be extended by revising the design to address an application issue that the previous version did not address. That is exactly what Leine & Linde hopes to accomplish by offering its popular 500 series rotary encoders in stainless steel versions.

The RXI 500 series incremental encoder and the RXA 500 series absolute encoders are already known for their durability and wide range of options. Now, with two types of austenitic steel available, 304/A2 or 316/A4, the encoders can be used in a variety of corrosive applications.
