The Extreme 1000 series from Leine
& Linde are encoders for severe environments and are available
through the Heidenhain Corp. The measurement and function range on the encoder
is designed to meet the requirements of the steel, crane and mining machinery
industries. In such applications, the encoder is exposed to extreme mechanical
stress, vibrations and shock, as well as dusty environments with high
temperatures.
The Leine & Linde 1000 series encoder has sturdy bearings and
enclosures while maintaining durability and absolute pulse encoders with the
PROFIBUS interface can now be used in extremely tough industrial environments
by using the 1000 Series. Different incremental and absolute versions of the
1000 series are available, and a combination of the various encoder types can
even be integrated in the same 1000 series product. The absolute variants are
also available with interfaces such as SSI, EnDat, CANopen, DeviceNet or with a
parallel output with resolutions up to 25 bit. The enclosure is rated IP67 to
protects the encoder's internal components from dust and liquids. Stainless
steel housing is available as a special option.
