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
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 […]
Absolute Rotary Encoders for Harsh Environments
When established products evolve to address additional market requirements customers usually benefit. This is certainly the case for sensor users that need an absolute rotary encoder to work in a harsh environment. Building on its ISA and IHA 600 series of absolute rotary encoders, Leine & Linde introduced the IXA 600 stainless steel model that […]
Encoder for Heavy Equipment
In heavy equipment applications, the operator needs to know the exact location of relative moving parts at all times in order to prevent accidents. At the same time, the measurement technique must be rugged to survive. Leine & Linde designed its model PHE 900 encoder absolute encoder to address both of these areas. The inductive […]
Sensing Velocity on Large Generators
Controlling permanent magnet generators with large shafts in applications like wind turbines can pose a significant challenge since the shafts can be a meter in diameter. The Leine & Linde answer to the problem is to segment a ring encoder for the velocity sensing into pieces. This simplifies both commissioning and service, since the ring […]
