Rotary Encoders

HEIDENHAIN offers the ECN/EQN 400 series rotary encoders with PROFIBUS and PROFINET interfaces for use in manufacturing, process automation and more.

HEIDENHAIN announces its miniature incremental exposed linear encoders, the LIF400 Series, designed especially for linear motor applications.

HEIDENHAIN introduces the ROD 1930 rotary encoder series for use in mechanically-demanding motion control environments.

HEIDENHAIN has developed the ERM 2200 magnetic rotary encoder series with a 200-micron signal period.

To facilitate the opportunity for machine users to better monitor and implement a predictive motion control system, Leine & Linde introduces a new version of a rotary encoder supporting Condition Monitoring Systems. Called the Model 862 with PROFIBUS DP, this robust mechanical structure from Heidenhain is now a part of Leine & Linde's long history of operation in tough motion control environments, such as seen within the steel, paper and wind power equipment industries, to name a few.

As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does HEIDENHAIN's component product offerings. Now new to the market are HEIDENHAIN's ROx 400 absolute rotary encoders, available in a functionally safe design including a mechanical fault exclusion for the shaft.

HEIDENHAIN unveils a new line of rotary encoders for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX).

Leine & Linde introduced the use of Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ communication protocol into its rotary encoder product line in 2012, and is now offering this interface in its inductive 600 absolute rotary encoder series from Heidenhain.

HEIDENHAIN is expanding its third generation of absolute inductive rotary encoders with the ExI 11xx series, providing a single encoder safety solution for many industries, such as packaging, automation and robotics.

Available for Heidenhain, Leine & Linde's 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds.
