LM13 is a non-contact, high-speed linear magnetic scale system suitable for harsh environments.

The system includes a compact readhead and a self-adhesive magnetic tape.

LM13 is easy to install. The readhead features a built-in LED installation indicator, offers large installation tolerances, and provides installation tools for the self-adhesive magnetic tape. The bidirectional reference zero can be set to a preset zero integrated into the magnetic tape, or to a reference zero applied onto the magnetic tape using an auto-aligning installation tool.

This encoder features digital output signals and offers a range of user-selectable resolutions: 1 µm, 2 µm, 4 µm, 5 µm, 10 µm, 20 µm, 25 µm, 50 µm, 125 µm, and 250 µm. LM13 speed up to 25 m/s; even at a resolution of 1 µm, the speed reaches 4 m/s.

Due to its compact and lightweight size and internal construction, LM13 is also suitable for curved applications. The self-adhesive magnetic tape can be mounted on surfaces with a minimum radius of 60 mm.

The LM13 linear encoder is designed for extremely harsh environments, with an operating temperature of -10°C to +80°C, an ingress protection rating of IP68, and strong resistance to shock, vibration, and pressure. The robust magnetic tape also resists contamination from various common industrial chemicals. The non-contact design eliminates wear and reduces hysteresis, ensuring high-precision measurement at high speeds and accelerations.

The LM13 encoder system is suitable for use in extremely harsh application environments, including woodworking, stone cutting, sawing, metal cutting, textiles, packaging, plastics processing, automation and assembly systems, laser/flame/water jet cutting, and electronic assembly equipment.
