HEIDENHAIN LC 185 Linear Encoder

The HEIDENHAIN LC 185 is an absolute, sealed linear encoder designed for precise position measurements in demanding environments. It is characterized by its robust construction and integrated measuring slider technology, which enables fast and reliable data acquisition. With an absolute position indication, the LC 185 eliminates the need for a zero point adjustment after power-up and provides immediate complete position information. Its sealing design protects sensitive components from contaminants such as chips, coolants, and dust, ensuring its longevity and accuracy even under harsh operating conditions. Applications are frequently found in machine tools, automation systems, and measurement systems, where accurate and traceable motion data is essential for process control and quality assurance. The encoder is an ideal choice for replacing or retrofitting existing systems.
