Sensors & Transducers


Tough, new and compact

January 2012 Sensors & Transducers

An encoder is typically mounted at the rear of a motor and therefore affects the overall installation length. In tight spaces this can be restrictive and that is why Leine & Linde developed its new thinner encoder series.

The 700 series is compact and robust and features large hollow shafts up to 25,4 mm for mounting directly on motor shafts without an intermediate adapter for shaft reduction. This characteristic contributes to minimising the overall build length and at the same time facilitates mounting. Despite its compactness, the encoder is designed for the tough environments typical whenever a Leine & Linde product is specified. Mechanically it features a dual set of heavy duty bearings and a well-encapsulated enclosure. Electronically it is built for reliability in tough environments where it is subjected to vibrations and electrical disturbances.

Modules

Leine & Linde offers a wide range of electrical interfaces to choose from, each adapted to different frequencies, temperatures and cable lengths. This is why there is always a solution optimised for the particular application where the encoder is needed. The signal can be square wave, sinusoidal or even optical with the help of a gateway for OptoLink transmission. On the mechanical side, there is a multitude of different shaft variants that cover the market’s standards for both inch and millimeter-based dimensions.

The 700 series complements Leine & Linde’s previous assortment of encoders for drives. With respect to robustness, it is positioned midway between the established models in the 500 and 800 series. The 500 series covers the industry’s standard options for 58 mm encoders, while the 800 series is larger and especially adapted for heavy duty applications. Regardless of the demands placed on encoder size, robustness and function, Leine & Linde can now provide a complete range of solutions.
