Leine & Linde’s 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds. In many industrial applications like wind turbines, steel plants or loading cranes, it is common for an incremental encoder signal to be complemented with a separate relay output for over-speed indication. This is typically used to protect equipment…

Leine & Linde introduced the use of Siemens DRIVE-CLiQ communication protocol into its rotary encoder product line in 2012, and is now offering this interface in its inductive 600 absolute rotary encoder series. DRIVE-CLiQ is an Ethernet-based protocol which interfaces with SINAMICS control systems.  Motion control system components with DRIVE-CLiQ are automatically configured with each…

The ability to drive long cables and meet the high and low level voltage requirements for the transmitted signal is what sets the Leine & Linde High Current TTL (HC-TTL) output circuitry apart from its competition. The length of cable an encoder is capable of driving depends upon many factors. The cable type, mechanical properties,…

Leine & Linde introduces a new stainless steel version of the well known ISA and IHA 600 series of absolute rotary encoders. Designed to provide motion control and feedback for machines in harsh environments, the IXA 600 stainless steel model is useful in applications where the encoder is subject to saltwater, acids, or other aggressive…

Leine & Linde WDS series draw-wire length measurement units provide up to 30m of cost effective position data for lifts, factory doors, hoists and gantry systems. The WDS draw-wire unit has a durable and compact design that can be used with either absolute or incremental rotary encoders. The simple and flexible encoder mounting attaches to…

The Leine & Linde model PHE 900 encoder will meet the needs of the most demanding heavy equipment applications, and is currently experiencing particular interest from those in the mining and oil & gas industries.  This absolute encoder has been created as a flexible platform which can be tailored to meet various application requirements.  It…

Ever wonder what products featured in this marvelous magazine you readers look for most often? It’s a curious questions, but who would know? Google knows. Their analytics feature keep and all-watchful eye on what you do, at least online. So armed with access to its all-watching feature, we asked the information giant: What products have…

Insurers, banks, and construction authorities usually require that wind-turbine manufacturers and operators have a certification according to the applicable guidelines. Up until now, the safety functions required within this context, for example, switching off wind turbines in case of excessive rotor speed, have been implemented with relatively costly and frequently redundant designs. With its new…

So that machine builders can better monitor predictive motion controls, Leine & Linde introduce a new version of a rotary encoder supporting Condition Monitoring Systems.  The Model 862 is a heavy duty incremental encoder that further enhances plant efficiency with the PROFIBUS DP communication interface.  Leine & Linde’s Advanced Diagnostic System (ADS) includes the PROFIBUS…

This edited  article come from encoder manufacturer Leine & Linde It’s sometimes the small modules such as rotary encoders in production equipment that make it necessary to shutdown a plant for their replacement in case of faults. This results in enormous costs, often way out of proportion to their size. In the windpower industry, revenue…
