LEINE LINDE — a member of the HEIDENHAIN family of brands

Reliable sensors for renewable energy applications

Leine Linde encoders help increase wind turbine efficiency, extend system lifespan, and reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Designed to meet electrical and mechanical challenges, our encoder systems also support the transition to fully digitalized wind power operations.

1. Generator Encoders

For stable wind turbine operation, high-resolution speed feedback is critical. Generator shaft encoders support efficient control of power and torque, and must withstand harsh environments and demanding duty cycles. Leine Linde provides generator encoder solutions for both doubly-fed asynchronous and synchronous equipment, including permanent magnet generators.
