Key Features

Non-Contact and Wear-Free Linear Encoder

Non-Contact and Wear-Free Linear Encoder

Our encoders use magnetic sending technology, so they work without contact and ensure a virtually wear-free and maintenance-free operation. This ensures high-accuracy measurements for a lifetime.

Unlike rotary encoders, there are no moving parts. All the mechanical components found in rotary encoders (flange, shaft, bearings, etc.) are not needed, which eliminates mechanical failures and deficiencies.

Battery Powered LCD Digital Readout

Battery Powered LCD Digital Readout

Our digital readouts are powered by the standardized and readily available C battery with a battery life up to 12 months*.

Features include:

  • Inch, mm, or fractional display with direct button conversion between inch and mm.
  • Can be zeroed or referenced anywhere along the guide rail
  • Battery life indicator

*Dependent on battery type and usage

Maintenance-Free Bearings

Maintenance-Free Bearings

The MD10D utilizes a self-lubricating UHMW bearing pad. This material has a low coefficient of friction, which ensures a smooth carriage travel.

Unlike roller bearings, there is no required lubrication or concerns about breakdown. Thus, maintenance costs and downtime are virtually eliminated.
