HEIDENHAIN New Linear Encoders Ideal for Functional Safety

SCHAUMBURG, IL (May 2013) – The new absolute LC 195S and LC 495S sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that need to be certified for functional safety. The dual sealing lips on the LC 195S provide an extra layer of protection against contamination, and their extrusions ensure high vibration resistance, making these encoders extremely reliable and accurate. These new encoders improve upon HEIDENHAIN’s already successful LC xx3 series, as the LC 195S/495S now focus on the requirements for purely-serial absolute systems for Siemens SINAMICS drive
