External Rotary Encoders
External rotary encoders excel at measuring rotational motion, angular velocity, and even linear motion when combined with mechanical elements. Areas of application include electric motors, machine tools, printing machines, textile machines, robots, handling equipment, measuring devices, and inspection equipment. The high signal quality of their scanning signals enables nearly perfect speed and motion control within the control loop.

Angle Encoder Modules
Optimally matched combinations of angle encoders and integrated high-precision bearings result in high measurement and bearing accuracies, very high resolutions, and exceptionally high repeatability. These encoders also feature easy installation and a compact, low-profile design, not to mention low starting torques for smooth motion.

Angle Encoders
HEIDENHAIN angle encoders enable high-accuracy angular measurement down to a few arc seconds. Various design options offer the optimal solution for any application: sealed versions for high robustness, modular solutions for maximum flexibility in the application, and angle encoder modules with an integrated precision bearing. As a result, process reliability and positioning accuracy are always perfectly matched to the given scenario.

Linear Encoders
Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the recirculating ball screw. Wherever rigorous position accuracy and high machining speeds are needed, linear encoders are essential.
