Encoders

Linear encoders

Linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN provide direct position feedback on linear axes without intervening mechanical elements, enabling your machines to meet rigorous requirements in machining speed and positioning accuracy.

Angle encoders

HEIDENHAIN angle encoders allow you to position rotary axes with exceptional accuracy down to a few arc seconds. We have the right fit for your application, including sealed angle encoders, modular solutions, and highly integrated modules with a bearing.

Rotary encoders

Along with being easy to install, rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN deliver accurate, reliable, and functionally safe speed and position feedback. Choosing our rotary encoders means entrusting your application to top quality, precision, and robustness.

Signal converters

HEIDENHAIN signal converters flexibly adapt encoder signals to the interface requirements of your application's downstream electronics. They can also process additional sensor signals as needed.

Evaluation units and software

HEIDENHAIN evaluation units and evaluation software record measurements and can evaluate them using statistical analysis. The results can also be used for further processing in automation applications via built-in switching functions.

Testing and inspection devices

HEIDENHAIN encoders deliver all the information needed for encoder adjustment, setup, and monitoring. Our testing and inspection devices allow you to use this data for function checks, extensive diagnostic work, and acceptance testing for your machine. 

Length gauges

Length gauges from HEIDENHAIN and NUMERIK JENA measure even long measuring lengths with speed, reliability and accuracy. Use these benefits in your production metrology, multi-gauging fixtures, measuring equipment monitoring, and position measurement.
