The range of RTLA50 absolute linear encoder scales from Renishaw give ±10 μm/m accuracy in the form of a rugged and easy-to-handle stainless steel tape. RTLA50 scales can either be stuck to the substrate using their self‑adhesive backing or mounted in the revolutionary FASTRACK ™ track system to offer total design flexibility.
When combined with Renishaw’s EVOLUTE readhead, the RTLA50
scales offer high accuracy and an independent expansion coefficient with resolutions down to 50 nm.
Constant velocity control is essential for many advanced industrial processes, but traditional motor designs give rise to cogging forces which generate ripples in the motor velocity. KOVERY Inc has designed a series of advanced linear motors, with integrated Renishaw encoders, that solve this problem.
