angle encoders provide
excellent dynamic performance.
HEIDENHAIN angle encoders are characterized by high accuracy values in
the arc second range and better.
Examples for application:
Rotary tables on machine tools
Swivel heads on machine tools
C axes on lathes
Gear-testing machines
Printing units of printing machines
Spectrometers
Telescopes
There are three different mechanical design
principles:
Angle encoders with
integral bearing, hollow shaft and integrated stator coupling
Series
Application
Sealed Angle Encoders
feature integral bearings and are available in
various mechanical and electronic versions.
Areas of application for these devices include
NC rotary tables on machine tools.
Exposed Angle Encoders
— also called modular angle encoders — are
supplied without bearing. The angle encoders are
used in high-precision angle measuring tables
and other precision devices in angular
metrology, as well as for antennas and
telescopes.
