The sturdy mechanical structure and enhanced reliability designed into Leine & Linde’s heavy duty Model 800 Series rotary encoders supports their long history of successful operation in tough motion control environments, such as within the wind power, steel, and paper industries. Now, two new encoder models with dual outputs augment this product line for use…
Magnetic ring encoder has speed feedback for large shafts
The constant challenge in the wind industry is to increase the output power of the turbines at the same time as reducing weight. A current trend is to use permanent magnet generators in order to exclude the gearbox and thus decrease the total weight. These solutions often require a speed feedback encoder mounted on the…
Encoder diagnostics for Leine & Linde devices
After 10 years of service, an updated version of the popular ADS (Advanced Diagnostic System) has been launched by Leine & Linde. The new ADS Online is Leine & Linde’s proprietary advanced encoder diagnostic tool that is tailored to supporting condition-based maintenance. The system analyzes rotary encoder condition and warns of impending faults before they…
Encoder comes with self diagnostics
To avoid false diagnoses or costly downtime an early warning system called ADS (Advanced Diagnostic System) is built into Leine & Linde’s 800 Series of rotary encoders. These devices are often subjected to high mechanical stresses in the form of shock and vibrations as well as high temperatures. Encoders with ADS have detected worn-out ball…
