Long measuring lengths
The LB 383 linear encoder can be up to 3 m long with a single-section housing and up to 72 m long with a multi-section housing. In all lengths, the LB 383 features excellent dynamic performance, high reliability, and high accuracy across its entire measuring range.
Multi-section housing
Multiple housing sections can be joined together to form long measuring lengths. A steel scale tape is drawn through them and secured to the machine bed at both ends of the encoder. Due to the design, scanning is performed with the housing at a neutral range of tilt, thus preventing inaccuracy at the section joints.
