LM13 linear magnetic encoder system with DPI resolution
The LM13 with DPI resolution is a contactless high-speed linear magnetic encoder system that has been designed for DPI applications.
Overview
Introduction
The system features a compact sealed readhead that rides at up to 1.5 mm from the self-adhesive magnetic strip scale, which brings up to 100 m travel.
Simple to install, the LM13 features an integral set-up LED on the readhead, wide installation tolerances and an applicator tool for the adhesive-backed magnetic scale. A bidirectional reference is provided that can be actuated either by a preset mark integrated within the scale or by adding a reference sticker on top of the scale with the help of a self aligning installation tool.
The encoder comes in digital output variants and offers a range of customer selectable resolutions from 25,600 dpi to 100 dpi.
Engineered for extreme service, the solid-state LM13 linear encoder operates from -10 °C to +80 °C, has water-proof sealing to IP68 and is highly resistant to shock, vibrations and pressure. The robust magnetic scale is also resistant to a range of chemicals commonly found in industry. The non-contact, frictionless design eliminates wear while reducing hysteresis giving precision at high speeds and accelerations.

Accessories
Further information on the accessories can be found in the datasheet under the Documentation tab.
Stick-on reference mark
The stick-on reference mark can be easily applied to the magnetic scale.
Part number: LM10SRM00
Applicator tool for stick-on reference mark
This applicator tool helps you to position the stick-on reference mark at the required position.
Part number: LM10ARM00
Applicator tool for magnetic scale
This applicator tool can be mounted in place of any RLS LM13 readhead and uses motion of the axis to apply the MS10 tape scale parallel to the guideway.
Part number: LM13ASC00
End clamps for magnetic scale
The end clamps have been designed to anchor the ends of the MS magnetic scale. The installation guide can be found in the Documentation tab.
Part number: LM10ECL00
TRS track system
The TRS track system has been designed for applications which demand that the scale be removed easily. The magnetic scale is simply inserted in the aluminium track section. More information can be found under Related products.
