The exposed LIM
linear encoder is an attractive solution wherever
handling, woodworking or packaging machines require
relatively simple linear encoders with high tolerance
to airborne liquids or particles and with measuring
steps down to 0.01 mm. It operates according to a
non-contacting magnetic scanning principle and is
therefore free of wear and relatively insensitive to
contamination. Its measuring standard is a fully
encapsulated steel strip to which a magnetized plastic
coating is applied.
The LIM 581 is the proper choice for
all applications involving linear motors because it
outputs highly interpolable sinusoidal signals in 1
Vpp levels with a signal period of 10.24 mm. The LIM
571 with TTL square-wave signals and a signal period
of 40 microns is ideal for direct connection with PLC
controls.
