Rotary encoders, modular rotary encoders and angle
encoders for integrated and hollow-shaft motors
Rotary encoders and angle encoders for these motors have
hollow through shafts in order to allow supply lines, for example,
to be conducted through the motor shaft—and therefore through
the encoder. Depending on the conditions of the application, the
encoders must either feature IP 66 protection or—for example
with modular encoders using optical scanning—the machine must
be designed to protect them from contamination.
In the selection table you will fi nd
• Angle encoders and modular encoders with the measuring
standard on a steel drum for shaft speeds up to 42 000 min
–1
• Encoders with integral bearing, with stator coupling or modular
design
• Encoders with high quality absolute and/or incremental
output signals
• Encoders with good acceleration performance for a broad
bandwidth in the control loop

Linear encoders for linear motors
Linear encoders on linear motors supply the actual value both for
the position controller and the velocity controller. They therefore
form the basis for the servo characteristics of a linear drive. The
linear encoders recommended for this application:
• Have low position deviation during acceleration in the measuring
direction
• Have high tolerance to acceleration and vibration in the lateral
direction
• Are designed for high velocities
• Provide absolute position information with purely digital data
transmission or high-quality sinusoidal incremental signals
Exposed linear encoders are characterized by:
• Higher accuracy grades
• Higher traversing speeds
• Contact-free scanning, i.e., no friction between scanning head
and scale
Exposed linear encoders are suited for applications in clean
environments, for example on measuring machines or production
equipment in the semiconductor industry.
For selection table see page 16
Sealed linear encoders are characterized by:
• A high degree of protection
• Simple installation
Sealed linear encoders are therefore ideal for applications in
environments with airborne liquids and particles, such as on
machine tools.
