Linear Encoders: Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the recirculating ball screw. Wherever rigorous position accuracy and high machining speeds are needed, linear encoders are essential.
Sealed Linear Encoders: Sealed linear encoders feature optimal protection from dust, chips, and splash water. They are especially ideal for use in manually operated machine tools and also in numerically controlled machine tools.
