L50 Photoelectric Modular Linear Encoderby Precizika MetrologyModular photoelectric sealed linear encoder L50 has measuring length from 3240 mm up to 30040 mm. The encoder is used to convert linear displacements of key machine components into electrical signals containing information about the value and direction of the displacement. The encoder determines position by detecting light reflected off a metal band. Metal band with 40 µm pitch scale is fixed in rigid aluminum housing with protection lips. The encoder consists of several separate rigid modules with length up to 2.0 m, which are joined together, and reading head. Two versions of output signals are available: - L50-AV - Sinusoidal signals, with amplitude approx. 1 Vpp, require external subdividing electronics. Resolution 0.1 µm is possible with respective external electronics. - L50-F - Square-wave signals, with integrated subdividing electronics for interpolation x1, x2, x5, x10.
