Enclosed Linear Encoders

An enclosed linear encoder is a position-measuring device mounted directly on a machine's drive axis, feeding the machine control real-time position data. A sealed aluminum housing with flexible sealing lips protects the measuring mechanism from chips, dust, and coolant — making it suitable for direct installation on production machinery in demanding shop-floor conditions. Key Advantages • Sealed housing protects against chips, dust, and coolant • Absolute models (LC series) require no homing after power-up • Wide measuring length range — up to approx. 72 m • High stability even in vibration-prone environments • Functional Safety variants available Main Applications CNC machine tools, automated production lines, laser and plasma cutting, and processing equipment operating in environments with chips, oils, and coolant. Main Series LC (absolute) · LS (incremental) · LF (fine resolution) · LB (long lengths) More information https://www.heidenhain.com/products/encoders/linear-encoders/sealed
