New Magnetic Ring Encoder Offers Velocity Feedback for Large Shafts
HEIDENHAIN's Leine & Linde MRI 2000 pulls apart for easy installation in tight spacesSchaumburg, IL – (February 2013) – A new magnetic ring encoder strategically segmented to simply fit around large shafts is now available from Leine & Linde. Called the MRI 2000, this new ring encoder meets the challenge that some large machinery OEMs and users face of increasing output power at the same time as reducing weight, such as in wind turbines for example.
To meet that challenge, a current trend is to use permanent magnet generators in order to exclude the gearbox and thus decrease the total
