LM13 magnetic ring encoder system
The LM13 is a contactless high-speed ring encoder designed for use in harsh and unfriendly environments.
Overview
Introduction
The LM13 features a compact sealed readhead and and a magnetised ring of a diameter of 100.5 mm. The readhead can ride at up to 1.5 mm from the ring's surface.
Simple to install, the LM13 features an integral set-up LED on the readhead and wide installation tolerances.
The encoder comes in digital output variants and offers a range of customer selectable interpolation factors which offer resolutions from 1,280 to 327,680 counts per revolution. The LM13 is capable of velocities up to 25,000 revolutions per minute.
Engineered for extreme service, the solid-state LM13 ring 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 ring 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.
The LM13 encoder system brings reliable solutions to tough, hard-working applications including woodworking, stone-cutting, sawing, metalworking, textiles, packaging, plastics processing, automation and assembly systems, laser/flame/water-jet cutting, electronic assembly equipment etc.
