On January the 27 our product management team presented last years product highlights on a digital broadcast from our flagship showroom at our HQ in Strängnäs, Sweden.
Topics on the broadcast:
Encoders with added features:
Encoders for functional safety
Condition monitoring solutions for increased uptime
EX certified encoders
Encoders for large (and very large) drives.
Small, robust and versatile. Our new line of inductive encoders, the M500 series, is designed to meet the challenges of today, as well as the requirements of tomorrow.
Each of these incremental and absolute inductive encoders comes with its own unique set of benefits. What they have in common is an immunity to contamination and electrical or magnetic disturbances. Even the worst enviro
One of Leine Linde’s Danish customers is a manufacturer of machinery for the food industry. In one particular case they were building a machine for drying and roasting nuts, to be shipped to an end customer in the US.
A lot of dust is created as nuts are processed, creating a challenging environment for encoders. To adapt a RHI 593 encoder to the dusty environment, our engineers added an inle
This encoder was installed at German industrial saw manufacturer FORTE GmbH the same year as Microsoft first released Windows 3.1. That same year, Bill Clinton was elected president of the United States, IBM sold the first ThinkPad and Irish band U2 released the single One, while Boyz II Men managed to top the Billboard list with their hit End of the Road. That was 29 years ago, in 1992.

The ISA 698 encoder with GORE-TEX valve was originally developed for rock drilling rigs in the mining industry. The new GORE-TEX valve prevents moisture from accumulating inside the encoder. Instead, it enables a one-way release of moisture to keep the inside of the encoder dry, for optimal operation.
Encoders with GORE-TEX valves are suitable for use in humid environments where the te
Some of the liquids that are processed in the food industry are really acidic. Cleaning agents and other aggressive substances are frequently used in and around the machines and encoders used must withstand occasional splashes and exposure to such fluids. For one of these machine manufacturers, Leine Linde developed a splash-proof and corrosion resistant absolute encoder used for positioning a
In salty and humid environments, or where aggressive chemicals may be present, you need to select components that are resistant to corrosion. Individual components such as encoders need to be carefully selected. When working within a marine, off-shore or near a salt-water environment, you may even need to select the appropriate grade of stainless steel.
Leine Linde's encoders have a broad operating temperature span, already in their standard design. The encoders in the 800 series are available in variants for temperatures down to -40ºC and up to +100ºC.
For one of our users, this was not enough, as the solution they were building had to work flawlessly in temperatures down to -50ºC. Our solution was a customized version of an 865 duo encoder,
One of Leine Linde’s customers in the Korean steel industry recently wanted to replace an existing encoder from another encoder manufacturer with a modern Leine Linde inductive 600 series encoder equipped with a PROFIBUS interface. The existing mount was an old-fashioned ø65 mm flange. To simplify installation, Leine Linde engineers created a retrofit flange for the desired encoder model.

The Leine Linde FSI 900 encoder series is now equipped with the EnDat interface that can communicate through a variety of fieldbus interface protocols, making it easier than ever to integrate in your control system.
The robust linear encoders RLI 4300 with their associated ERG gateway for digital or fieldbus communication are now released with additional measurement lengths. Developed for metal hot rolling, the encoders withstand high temperatures, shock, vibration, liquids and chemicals. Answering to the users’ demand, the measuring lengths 170 mm and 260 mm have now been added to the product series. This ma
