LEINE & LINDE Supports Condition Monitoring Systems
In order 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 is now a part of Leine & Linde’s long history […]
Incremental Encoders Provide Options for the Drives Industry
The HS35 series through hollow shaft and OptoPulse EIL580 series solid and hollow shaft incremental encoders from Baumer are ideally suited for applications in drive technology. Due to their precision optical scanning principle, which delivers less than 1 arc minute accuracy, the encoders allow for precise control in applications such as speed regulation for web […]
SICK’s New Compact, User-programmable DFS2X Incremental Encoders
SICK announced the launch of the DFS2X line of programmable incremental encoders. These 16-bit encoders feature a compact, rugged mechanical design and a metal code disc that fits in nearly all applications. The DFS2X encoders offer shaft, blind hollow and through hollow versions in a small 2-inch housing, as well as a shaft version with […]
HEIDENHAIN’s Increased Accuracy with New Magnetic Encoder
In the recent past, HEIDENHAINs ERM rotary encoder series has had great success with installations on machine tools, such as on the C axis of lathes and the main spindle on milling machines. Now, due to the higher demand for accuracy on varying rotary and tilting axes, HEIDENHAIN has developed the ERM 2200 magnetic rotary […]

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a brand of AMETEK Precision Motion Control, has introduced the latest addition to the IDEA Drive™ line of sophisticated stepper motor controllers. The RoHS-compliant PCM4806E drive allows an encoder input to the controller for closed-loop position correction capability. This particular drive is optimized to regulate a low-current power stage suitable for […]
BEI Sensors Introduces Triple Certified Hazardous Area Encoders
BEI Sensors full line of UL-certified nonincendive Division 2 encoders are now compliant to CENELEC/ATEX and IECEx non-sparking Zone 2 hazardous area standards. This triple certification is provided on six popular heavy-duty encoder models sized 2 to 4.5 inches in both hollow shaft and shafted versions. These models include the H20, H25, HS20, HS25, HS35, […]
New SIL 3 Safety Encoders from HEIDENHAIN
Safety-related position encoders have been available from HEIDENHAIN for several years. However, those encoders have been rated to SIL 2, PL d, Category 3. While this meets the requirements of most applications, sometimes there is a need for SIL 3, PL e, Category 4-rated equipment. These applications involve high risks for the operator, such as […]
