Absolute Sealed Linear Encoders Add Interface

December 30, 2016 By Randy Frank

Ease of interfacing a sensor is especially important in machine control applications. Even though it offered LC xx5 Absolute Sealed Linear Encoders for use with Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and HEIDENHAIN controls for many years, HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION, recently added a Panasonic interface (Pana01) to the line. Available in 3 µm (with a 1 nm measuring step) […]

Incremental Sealed Rotary Encoders for High Loads

December 27, 2016 By Randy Frank

When a product is well received in one region of the world, it often has advantages that would benefit other regions. HEIDENHAIN came to this conclusion with its ROD 620 and 630 models of the ROD 600 series incremental sealed rotary encoders. The ROD 600 encoders were well received in the Japanese market for many […]

Hollow-Shaft Rotary Encoders

December 26, 2016 By Randy Frank

With its ECI 4000/EBI 4000 rotary encoder series, HEIDENHAIN adds to its existing line of inductive position encoders. The modular devices have a 90-mm hollow shaft without an integral bearing and consist of a scanning unit and the scale drum. They have an overall height of only 20 mm. The single-turn version of the ECI 4000 features resolution […]

Encoders with Stainless Steel Construction

September 28, 2016 By Randy Frank

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 […]

Safe Incremental Encoders Eliminate Need for Redundant Encoders

March 31, 2016 By Randy Frank

In safety critical manufacturing process applications, redundancy is a key too to protect the operator. In motion control systems, this has meant the use of a redundant incremental encoder. A new incremental encoder design avoids the need for redundancy. Certified for SIL2/PLd, Category 3 applications, Leine & Linde 850 shaft and 862 hollow-shaft encoders have […]

Encoders Integrate Fault Exclusion Feature

December 31, 2015 By Randy Frank

Electrical and electronics play a key role in the capability of many sensors including encoders. However, mechanical problems can undo all the good of the electronics if something goes wrong that can’t be detected. For its RCN absolute encoders, HEIDENHAIN Corporation integrated a Fault Exclusion for Loosening of the Mechanical Connection. Available in both a […]

Motion Control Encoders for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

November 19, 2015 By Randy Frank

Motion control encoders that operate in potentially explosive environments, especially in the European Union (EU), require ATEX compliance. HEIDENHAIN ExN and ROx 400 rotary encoders satisfy these requirements and are IP 66 rated as well. The units have increased wall thickness, smaller cable diameter and variations for multiple zones and atmosphere classifications. The ExN 400 […]

Encoders Fit into Tight Spaces

March 4, 2015 By Randy Frank

Motor manufacturers looking for more design flexibility should appreciate thinner encoders. To satisfy these customers, HEIDENHAIN has two new rotary encoders. The ECI 1118 rotary encoder has a thickness of only 10 mm and a diameter just less than 37 mm. The absolute encoder offers a resolution of 18 bits and an accuracy of ±120”. […]

Absolute Linear Kit Encoder Targets High Mounting Tolerances and Reliability

June 20, 2014 By Randy Frank

If you have purchased and have been satisfied with a sensor, it can be a pleasant surprise when the manufacturer makes a new part that matches the dimensions of the one you have and allows a simple replacement providing an upgrade to the original. That’s exactly what HEIDENHAIN’s did with its LIC 2100 series absolute linear […]
