Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has developed new linear encoders that feature a special stainless steel scale, ultralow ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics and ±4μm accuracy to deliver the ...

RSF Elektronik has developed the smallest full sealed linear encoder for motion feedback available in the marketplace. The MSA 170 has a scale cross section of just 14mm x 10mm and contains a tiny ...

The encoder is available in standard lengths to 470 mm and up to 720 mm by special request. Resolution is 5 μm or 1 μm after fourfold evaluation. The units ship with a left or right cable exit for ...

HEIDENHAIN’s new LIP 6000 miniature linear encoder system, consisting of a scanning unit and glass scale, has the unusual capability to measure to 2 nm resolution with high speed of 4m/sec at long ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 04, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN's LC 200 linear encoder continues to set the standard in linear measurement on long machine tool axes. Now available with a Mitsubishi ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - October 15, 2015) - NUMERIK JENA's LIA 2 series optical linear encoder series is designed to be more robust against certain contaminations like dust and fingerprints due ...

Comprised of an electrically-excited patterned scale and a read head that responds to the electric field flux generated by the scale, this innovative absolute linear electric encoder is said to ...

Featuring a postage-stamp-sized scanning unit along with high accuracy, Heidenhan’s incremental exposed linear encoders will likely fit the needs of stage manufacturers or anyone using linear motors ...

Machine and robot builders recognize linear motor benefits, but some are reluctant to integrate the components into design because of incomplete understanding of the technology. Here we overcome that ...

Rolamite bearings, originally designed for NASA with an order of magnitude of friction lower than ball bearings, can generate cog-free linear motion. A carriage is propelled along a track under the ...
