Linear Encoders

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Linear Encoders

Are you looking for industrial parts? A quality part is important to keeping your delicate equipment running at its peak and keeping the shop or plant operating at its full capacity. You want and need a device that is compatible with your existing equipment, that's affordable and that's easy to use.

A quality linear encoder is an essential piece of equipment for many industries. These parts are used to make a number of machines operate correctly. They ensure high-speed, accurate movement for robotics and industrial pick-and-place machines; provide measurements for laser scanners, coordinate measuring machines and calipers; and help digital presses to function correctly.

Linear encoders need to be precise without a lot of adjustments and maintenance. Things to consider when purchasing a linear encoder include whether you need an optical or a magnetic device, whether the equipment has an adhesive backing or if you need to drill a hole to mount it and the range the device is set to measure.
