Leine & Linde expands encoder offerings for the wind industry

By Michelle Froese | February 14, 2017

Leine & Linde‘s encoder products distributor WECS Electric Supply (WESC) in North Palm Springs, CA, continues to expand its reach to support the wind-energy equipment industry, and is opening two new North American offices.

Now with added personnel in Oklahoma and Iowa, WECS is better positioned to meet the motion control and feedback needs of customers with Leine & Linde solutions.

Leine & Linde is well known for their high-quality encoders, engineered for challenging industrial environments like those found in the wind industry.

WECS has been specializing in providing components and service to the alternative energy equipment industry for over 30 years. Working with Leine & Linde encoders for many years, the WECS engineers and technical sales team are experienced partners and providers, and have a strong focus on supporting the O&M crews that are maintaining and repairing wind turbines.

“We sell technology,” explained Bruce Hammett, WECS Electric Supply President. “And when Leine & Linde products help us provide solutions to maintain or upgrade a wind turbine, that’s good for both of us. We are enthusiastically satisfied and growing in the partnership.”

Leine & Linde is well known for offering high-quality incremental and absolute type heavy duty encoders and are noted for their product robustness, designed to cope with the harshest of environments, such as those with high vibration, dirt, and cold temperatures as experienced in the global wind energy industry.

WECS new office locations are in Oklahoma City, OK, and Des Moines, IA. The company continues to maintain large inventory warehouses in California and Texas.
