Leine Linde M500 bearingless inductive encoders built for challenging machine environments

- Automation and Software
Leine Linde has introduced M500 bearingless inductive encoders, available in North America through its parent company Heidenhain.
The encoders use Heidenhain’s inductive scanning technology, which makes them immune to contamination and electrical and magnetic fields. The inductive scanning also can be used to extend average encoder lifetimes, as well as reduce encoder size while maintaining superior performance and environmental robustness, the company states.
One of four models in this series, the MZI 594 encoder, has a sliding-shaft design that compensates for thermal influences.
Common applications for these extreme-use encoders include motors, crane automation, pulp and paper processes, and wind energy.
While each of the new encoders has its own specific features, some key ones include the ability to operate in a temperature range from -20 to +100 degrees C (depending on the version), Ingress protection class of IP67 (IP69 for the MZI 594), shaft play (axial) of ± 3 mm (MZI 594), and maximum rotational speed of 6,000 RPM.
