Simplified installation and reference marking
The non-contact magnetic sensing delivers reliability in applications too dusty, dirty,
greasy or destructive for optical encoders, while providing OEMs with major cost
savings. Installation is simplified with an integral set-up LED, wide installation
tolerances and an applicator tool for the scale/reference mark. The reference mark
can either be ordered at a fixed position or it can be applied by the user with the
applicator tool supplied.
Application versatility including digital and analogue outputs
Offering great application versatility, the LM10 linear magnetic encoder comes in
digital or analogue output variants and offers a range of customer-selectable
resolutions including 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 μm options. The LM10 delivers high
speed operation of up to 25 m/s (4 m/s at 1 μm resolution).
Engineered for service in extreme conditions, the solid-state LM10 linear encoder
offers operating temperatures from -20 °C to 85 °C, water-proof sealing to IP68,
together with high resistance to shock, vibrations, and pressure. The non-contact,
frictionless design eliminates wear while reducing hysteresis for high precision at high
speed and acceleration.
Solutions to applications in hostile environments
The LM10 linear magnetic encoders bring reliable solutions to applications in hostile
environments such as woodworking, stone-cutting, sawing, metalworking, textiles,
packaging, paper and converting, plastics processing, automation and assembly
systems, laser/flame/water-jet cutting, electronic chip/board production, etc.
The LM10 linear encoder joins Renishaw's proven family of rotary magnetic encoders. The new LM10 linear magnetic encoder brings 100 m travel and fit-and-forget reliability to demanding high-speed, precision applications.
