Ask for availability. The Heidenhain LC181 340 is an absolute linear encoder designed for precise position measurement in CNC machine tools. It utilizes the EnDat interface for data transmission and is suitable for measuring lengths up to 340 mm. The encoder features a DIADUR glass scale with seven tracks of differing grating periods, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. It provides 1 Vpp incremental signals with a signal period of 16 µm and offers accuracy grades of ±3 µm and ±5 µm. The recommended measurement steps range from 1 µm to 0.1 µm, accommodating various precision requirements. The LC181 340 is mechanically compatible with the LS 106 and LS 186 incremental linear encoders, facilitating easy integration into existing systems. This encoder is ideal for applications requiring high-precision linear measurement, such as in CNC machinery, where accurate position feedback is essential for optimal performance.
