Linear encoders for numerically controlled machine tools
Linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN for

numerically controlled machine tools can
be used nearly everywhere. They are ideal
for machines and other equipment whose
feed axes are in a servo loop, such as
milling machines, machining centers,
boring machines, lathes and grinding
machines. The beneficial dynamic behavior
of the linear encoders, their high
permissible traversing speed, and their
acceleration in the direction of measurement predestine them for use on highlydynamic conventional axes as well as on
direct drives.
HEIDENHAIN also supplies linear encoders
for other applications, such as
Manual machine tools
Presses and bending machines
Automation and production equipment

inform yourself on the Internet at

Advantages of linear encoders

Linear encoders measure the position of
linear axes without additional mechanical
transfer elements. The control loop for
position control with a linear encoder also
includes the entire feed mechanics.
Transfer errors from the mechanics can be
detected by the linear encoder on the slide,
and corrected by the control electronics.
This makes it possible to eliminate a
number of potential error sources:
Positioning error due to thermal behavior
of the recirculating ball screw
Reversal error
Kinematic error through ball-screw pitch
error
Linear encoders are therefore indispensable
for machines that must fulfill high
requirements for positioning accuracy
and machining speed.
Mechanical design
The linear encoders for numerically
controlled machine tools are sealed
encoders: An aluminum housing protects
the scale, scanning carriage and its
guideway from chips, dust, and fluids.
Downward-oriented elastic lips seal the
housing.
The scanning carriage travels along the
scale on a low-friction guide. A coupling
connects the scanning carriage with the
mounting block and compensates the
misalignment between the scale and the
machine guideways.
Depending on the encoder model, lateral
and axial offsets of 0.2 to 0.3 mm
between the scale and mounting block are
permissible.
Dynamic behavior
The constant increases in efficiency and
performance of machine tools necessitate
ever-higher feed rates and accelerations,
while at the same time the high level of
machining accuracy must be maintained. In
order to transfer rapid and yet exact feed
motions, very high demands are placed on
rigid machine design as well as on the
linear encoders used.
As a general rule, the thermal behavior of

the linear encoder should match that of the
workpiece or measured object. During
temperature changes, the linear encoder
must expand or retract in a defined,
reproducible manner. Linear encoders from
HEIDENHAIN are designed for this.
Linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are

characterized by their high rigidity in the
measuring direction. This is a very
important prerequisite for high-quality path
accuracies on a machine tool. In addition,
the low mass of moving components
contributes to their excellent dynamic
behavior.
The graduation carriers of HEIDENHAIN

linear encoders have defined coefficients
of thermal expansion (see Specifications).
This makes it possible to select the linear
encoder whose thermal behavior is best
suited to the application.
Scanning carriage
Availability
The feed axes of machine tools travel quite
large distancesa typical value is
10 000 km in three years. Therefore, robust
encoders with good long-term stability are
especially important: They ensure the
constant availability of the machine.
Due to the details of their design, linear
encoders from HEIDENHAIN function
properly even after years of operation. The
contact-free principle of photoelectrically
scanning the measuring standard, as well
as the ball-bearing guidance of the
scanning carriage in the scale housing
ensure a long lifetime. This encapsulation,
the special scanning principles and, if
needed, the introduction of compressed
air, make the linear encoders very resistant
to contamination. The complete shielding
concept ensures a high degree of electrical
noise immunity.

Overview
Thermal behavior
The combination of increasingly rapid
machining processes with completely
enclosed machines leads to ever increasing
temperatures within the machine's work
envelope. Therefore, the thermal behavior
of the linear encoders used becomes
increasingly important, since it is an
essential criterion for the working accuracy
of the machine.

Linear encoders with slimline

scale housing
The linear encoders with slimline scale
housing are designed for limited
installation space. Larger measuring
lengths and higher acceleration loads are
made possible by using mounting spars or
clamping elements.
Linear encoders with full-size

scale housing
The linear encoders with full-size scale
housing are characterized by their sturdy
construction, high resistance to
vibration and large measuring lengths.
The scanning carriage is connected with
the mounting block over an oblique blade
that permits mounting both in upright and
reclining positions with the same
protection rating.

Measuring
principles
Measuring standard
HEIDENHAIN encoders with optical
scanning incorporate measuring standards
of periodic structures known as
graduations.
These graduations are applied to a carrier
substrate of glass or steel. The scale
substrate for large measuring lengths is a
steel tape.
HEIDENHAIN manufactures the precision
graduations in specially developed,
photolithographic processes.
AURODUR: matte-etched lines on goldplated steel tape with typical graduation
period of 40 m
METALLUR: contamination-tolerant
graduation of metal lines on gold, with
typical graduation period of 20 m
DIADUR: extremely robust chromium
lines on glass (typical graduation period
of 20 m) or three-dimensional chrome
structures (typical graduation period of
8 m) on glass
SUPRADUR phase grating: optically
three dimensional, planar structure;
particularly tolerant to contamination;
typical graduation period of 8 m and
less
OPTODUR phase grating: optically three
dimensional, planar structure with
particularly high reflectance, typical
graduation period of 2 m and less
Absolute measuring method
With the absolute measuring method,

the position value is available from the
encoder immediately upon switch-on and
can be called at any time by the subsequent
electronics. There is no need to move the
axes to find the reference position. The
absolute position information is read from
the scale graduation, which is formed from
a serial absolute code structure. A separate
incremental track is interpolated for the
position value and at the same time is used
to generate an optional incremental signal.
Along with these very fine grating periods,

these processes permit a high definition
and homogeneity of the line edges.
Together with the photoelectric scanning
method, this high edge definition is a
precondition for the high quality of the
output signals.
The master graduations are manufactured
by HEIDENHAIN on custom-built highprecision dividing engines.
Graduation of an absolute linear encoder
Schematic representation of an absolute code structure with an additional

incremental track (LC 485 as example)
Incremental measuring method
The reference mark must therefore be

scanned to establish an absolute reference
or to find the last selected datum.
In some cases this may necessitate

machine movement over large parts of the
measuring range. To speed and simplify
such reference runs, many encoders
feature distance-coded reference
marksmultiple reference marks that are
individually spaced according to a
mathematical algorithm. The subsequent
electronics find the absolute reference
after traversing two successive reference
marksonly a few millimeters traverse
(see table).
Technical Features and Mounting Information
With the incremental measuring

method, the graduation consists of a
periodic grating structure. The position
information is obtained by counting the
individual increments (measuring steps)
from some point of origin. Since an
absolute reference is required to ascertain
positions, the scales or scale tapes are
provided with an additional track that bears
a reference mark. The absolute position on
the scale, established by the reference
mark, is gated with exactly one signal
period.
Encoders with distance-coded reference

marks are identified with a C behind the
model designation (e.g. LS 487C).
With distance-coded reference marks, the
absolute reference is calculated by
counting the signal periods between two
reference marks and using the following
formula:
P1 = (abs Bsgn B1) x N + (sgn Bsgn D) x abs MRR
2

where:
B = 2 x MRRN
Where:
P1 = Position of the first traversed
reference mark in signal periods
abs = Absolute value
sgn = Algebraic sign function
(+1 or 1)
MRR = Number of signal periods between
the traversed reference marks

fixed reference marks in signal
periods (see table below)

Photoelectric scanning
Most HEIDENHAIN encoders operate

using the principle of photoelectric
scanning. Photoelectric scanning of a
measuring standard is contact-free, and as
such, free of wear. This method detects
even very fine lines, no more than a few
microns wide, and generates output
signals with very small signal periods.
The finer the grating period of a measuring
standard is, the greater the effect of
diffraction on photoelectric scanning.
HEIDENHAIN uses two scanning principles
with linear encoders:
The imaging scanning principle for
grating periods from 20 m and 40 m
The interferential scanning principle
for very fine graduations with grating
periods of, for example, 8m.
Imaging scanning principle

To put it simply, the imaging scanning
principle functions by means of projectedlight signal generation: two scale gratings
with equal or similar grating periods are
moved relative to each otherthe scale
and the scanning reticle. The carrier material
of the scanning reticle is transparent,
whereas the graduation on the measuring
standard may be applied to a transparent
or reflective surface.
When parallel light passes through a grating,
light and dark surfaces are projected at a
certain distance, where there is an index
grating. When the two gratings move
relative to each other, the incident light is
modulated. If the gaps in the gratings are
aligned, light passes through. If the lines of
one grating coincide with the gaps of the
other, no light passes through. An array of
photovoltaic cells converts these variations
in light intensity into electrical signals. The
specially structured grating of the scanning
reticle filters the light to generate nearly
sinusoidal output signals.
The smaller the period of the grating
structure is, the closer and more tightly
toleranced the gap must be between the
scanning reticle and scale.
The LC, LS and LB linear encoders operate
according to the imaging scanning
principle.

Interferential scanning principle

The interferential scanning principle
exploits the diffraction and interference of
light on a fine graduation to produce
signals used to measure displacement.
A step grating is used as the measuring
standard: reflective lines 0.2 m high are
applied to a flat, reflective surface. In front
of that is the scanning reticlea transparent
phase grating with the same grating period
as the scale.
When a light wave passes through the
scanning reticle, it is diffracted into three
partial waves of the orders 1, 0, and +1,
with approximately equal luminous intensity.
The waves are diffracted by the scale such
that most of the luminous intensity is found
in the reflected diffraction orders +1 and 1.
These partial waves meet again at the
phase grating of the scanning reticle where
they are diffracted again and interfere. This
produces essentially three waves that leave
the scanning reticle at different angles.
Photovoltaic cells convert this alternating
light intensity into electrical signals.
A relative motion of the scanning reticle to

the scale causes the diffracted wave fronts
to undergo a phase shift: when the grating
moves by one period, the wave front of the
first order is displaced by one wavelength
in the positive direction, and the wavelength
of diffraction order 1 is displaced by one
wavelength in the negative direction. Since
the two waves interfere with each other
when exiting the grating, the waves are
shifted relative to each other by two
wavelengths. This results in two signal
periods from the relative motion of just one
grating period.
Interferential encoders function with
grating periods of, for example, 8m, 4m
and finer. Their scanning signals are largely
free of harmonics and can be highly
interpolated. These encoders are therefore
especially suited for high resolution and
high accuracy.
Sealed linear encoders that operate
according to the interferential scanning
principle are given the designation LF.

Measuring accuracy
Position error a over the measuring length ML

Position error
The accuracy of linear measurement is

mainly determined by:
The quality of the graduation
The quality of the scanning process
The quality of the signal processing
electronics
The error from the scanning unit
guideway to the scale
Position error within

one signal period
A distinction is made between position

errors over relatively large paths of
traversefor example the entire
measuring lengthand those within one
signal period.
Position error within one signal period

The position error within one signal period
is determined by the signal period of the
encoder, as well as the quality of the
graduation and the scanning thereof. At any
measuring position, it typically lies at 2 %
to 0.5 % of the signal period (see table).
The smaller the signal period, the smaller
the position error within one signal period.
It is of critical importance both for accuracy
of a positioning movement as well as for
velocity control during the slow, even
traverse of an axis, and therefore for surface
quality and the quality of the machined part.

final inspection, and are indicated on the
calibration chart.

All HEIDENHAIN linear encoders are

The position errors are measured by
traversing in both directions, and the
averaged curve is shown in the calibration
chart.
The Quality Inspection Certificate
confirms the specified system accuracy of
each encoder. The calibration standards
ensure the traceabilityas required by
ENISO 9001to recognized national or
international standards.
For the LC, LF and LS series listed in this
brochure, a calibration chart documents the
position error ascertained for the measuring
length. It also indicates the measuring
parameters and the uncertainty of the
calibration measurement.
Temperature range
The linear encoders are inspected at a
reference temperature of 20 C. The
system accuracy given in the calibration
chart applies at this temperature.
The operating temperature range
indicates the ambient temperature limits
between which the linear encoders will
function properly.
The storage temperature range of 20C
to +70C applies for the unit in its
packaging. Starting from a measuring
length of 3240 mm, the permissible
storage temperature range for encoders of
the LC 1x5 encoders is limited to 10 C
to+50 C.

Mechanical design types and mounting guidelines

Linear encoders with small cross section
The LC, LF and LS slimline linear encoders

should be fastened to a machined surface
over their entire length, especially for highly
dynamic requirements. Larger measuring
lengths and higher vibration loads are
made possible by using mounting spars or
clamping elements (only for LC 4x5).
The slimline linear encoders feature
identical mounting dimensions. This makes
it possible, for example, to exchange an
incremental LS or LF against an absolute
LC on a specific machine design (please
note the 20 m smaller measuring length
of the LF than the LC and LS). In addition,
the same mounting spars can also be used
regardless of the encoder product family
(LC, LF or LS).
LF 485
LC 415
LS 487
The encoder is mounted so that the sealing

lips are directed downward or away from
splashing water (also see General
Mechanical Information).
Thermal behavior
Because they are rigidly fastened using
two M8 screws, the linear encoders largely
adapt themselves to the mounting surface.
When fastened over the mounting spar,
the encoder is fixed at its midpoint to the
mounting surface. The flexible fastening
elements ensure reproducible thermal
behavior.
The LF 485 with its graduation carrier of
steel has the same coefficient of thermal
expansion as a mounting surface of gray
cast iron or steel.
Mounting
It is surprisingly simple to mount the
sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN:
You need only align the scale unit at several
points along the machine guideway. Stop
surfaces or stop pins can also be used for
this. The shipping brace already sets the
proper gap between the scale unit and the
scanning unit, as well as the lateral
tolerance. If the shipping brace needs to be
removed before mounting due to a lack of
space, then the mounting gauge is used to
set the gap between the scale unit and the
scanning unit easily and exactly. Ensure
that the lateral tolerances are also
maintained.

Along with the standard procedure of using

two M8 screws to mount the scale unit on
a plane surface, there are also other
mounting possibilities:
Installation with mounting spar
Mounting the encoder with a mounting
spar can be especially beneficial. It can be
fastened as part of the machine assembly
process. The encoder is then simply clamped
on during final mounting. Easy exchange
also facilitates servicing. A mounting spar
is recommended for highly-dynamic
applications with ML greater than 620 mm.
It is always necessary for measuring lengths
starting from 1240 mm.
Mounting spar
For the MSL 41 mounting spar, the

components necessary for clamping are
premounted. It is designed for linear
encoders with normal or short end blocks.
The LC 4x5, LF 4x5 and LS 4x7 can be
mounted by either side to enable a cable
outlet at either end. The MSL 41 mounting
spar must be ordered separately.
The mounting aid is locked onto the
mounted spar and therefore simulates an
optimally mounted scanning unit. The
customers fastening for the scanning unit
can be easily aligned to it. Then the
mounting aid is replaced by the linear
encoder.

Mounting with clamping elements

The scale unit of the LC 4x5 is fastened
at both ends. In addition, it can also be
attached to the mounting surface by
clamping elements. For measuring lengths
over 1240 mm this makes it easy and
reliable to mount the encoder without a
spar and fasten it at the center of the
measuring length (recommended for
highly-dynamic applications with ML
greater than 620 mm).

Linear encoders with large cross section
The LB, LC, LF and LS full-size linear

encoders are fastened over their entire
length onto a machined surface. This gives
them a high vibration rating. The inclined
arrangement of the sealing lips permits
universal mounting with vertical or
horizontal scale housing with equally high
protection rating.
The LC 1x5 features an optimized sealing
system with two successive pairs of
sealing lips. When cleaned compressed air
is introduced into the scale housing, It
effectively seals the two pairs of sealing
lips against ambient air. This optimally
protects the interior of the encoder from
contamination.
Sealing system of the LC 1x5
Thermal behavior
The thermal behavior of the LB, LC, LF and
LS100 linear encoders with large cross
section has been optimized:
On the LF, the steel scale is cemented to a
steel carrier that is fastened directly to the
machine element.
On the LB, the steel scale tape is clamped
directly onto the machine element. The LB
therefore takes part in all thermal changes
of the mounting surface.
The LC and LS are fixed to the mounting
surface at their midpoint. The flexible
fastening elements permit reproducible
thermal behavior.
Mounting
It is surprisingly simple to mount the
sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN:
You need only align the scale unit at several
points along the machine guideway. Stop
surfaces or stop pins can also be used for
this. The shipping brace already sets the
proper gap between the scale unit and the
scanning unit. The lateral gap is to be set
during mounting. If the shipping brace
needs to be removed before mounting due
to a lack of space, then the mounting
gauge is used to set the gap between the

General mechanical information
Degree of protection
Sealed linear encoders fulfill the
requirements for IP 53 protection according
to EN 60 529 or IEC 60 529 provided that
they are mounted with the sealing lips
facing away from splash water. If necessary,
provide a separate protective cover. If the
encoder is exposed to particularly heavy
concentrations of coolant and mist,
compressed air can be used to provide
IP 64 protection to more effectively prevent
the ingress of contamination. To apply the
pressurized air for sealing the housing, the
LB, LC, LF and LS sealed linear encoders
are therefore equipped with inlets at both
end pieces and on the mounting block of
the scanning unit.
The compressed air introduced directly
onto the encoders must be cleaned by a
micro filter, and must comply with the
following quality classes as per ISO 8573-1
(2010 edition):

For optimum supply of sealing air to the

sealed linear encoders, the required air
flow is 7 to 10 l/min per encoder. Ideally
the air flow is regulated by the HEIDENHAIN
connecting pieces with integrated throttle
(see Accessories). At an inlet pressure of
approx. 1 105 Pa (1 bar), the throttles
ensure the prescribed volume of airflow.

DA 400
HEIDENHAIN offers the DA 400
compressed-air filter system for purifying
the compressed air. It is designed specifically
for the introduction of compressed air into
encoders.
The DA 400 consists of three filter stages
(prefilter, fine filter and activated carbon
filter) and a pressure regulator with
pressure gauge. The pressure gauge and
the automatic pressure switch (which is
available as an accessory) effectively
monitor the sealing air.

Mounting
To simplify cable routing, the mounting
block of the scanning unit is usually
screwed onto a stationary machine part,
and the scale housing on the moving part.
The mounting location for the linear
encoders should be carefully considered in
order to ensure both optimum accuracy
and the longest possible service life.
The encoder should be mounted as
closely as possible to the working plane
to keep the Abb error small.
To function properly, linear encoders
must not be continuously subjected
tostrong vibration; the more solid parts
of the machine tool provide the best
mounting surface in this respect.
Encoders should not be mounted on
hollow parts or with adapters. A
mounting spar is recommended for the
sealed linear encoders with small cross
section.
The linear encoders should be mounted
away from sources of heat to avoid
temperature influences.
Acceleration
Linear encoders are subjected to various
types of acceleration during operation and
mounting.
The indicated maximum values for
vibration apply for frequencies of 55 to
2000 Hz (EN 60068-2-6), except when
mechanical resonance arises. Compre
hensive tests of the entire system are
required.
The maximum permissible acceleration
values (semi-sinusoidal shock) for
shockand impact are valid for 11ms
(EN60068-2-27). Under no circumstances
should a hammer or similar implement
be used to adjust or position the encoder.
Required moving force
The required moving force stated is the
maximum force required to move the scale
unit relative to the scanning unit.
RoHS
HEIDENHAIN has tested the products for
harmlessness of the materials as per
European Directives 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
and 2002/96/EC (WEEE). For a Manufacturer
Declaration on RoHS, please refer to your
sales agency.
Expendable parts
HEIDENHAIN encoders contain components
that are subject to wear, depending on the
application and handling. These include in
particular the following parts:
LED light source
Cables with frequent flexing
Additionally for encoders with integral
bearing:
Bearing
Shaft sealing rings for rotary and angular
encoders
Sealing lips for sealed linear encoders
System tests
Encoders from HEIDENHAIN are usually
integrated as components in larger
systems. Such applications require
comprehensive tests of the entire
system regardless of the specifications
of the encoder.
The specifications shown in this
brochure apply to the specific encoder,
not to the complete system. Any
operation of the encoder outside of the
specified range or for any other than the
intended applications is at the user's
own risk.
Mounting
Work steps to be performed and
dimensions to be maintained during
mounting are specified solely in the
mounting instructions supplied with the
unit. All data in this catalog regarding
mounting are therefore provisional and
not binding; they do not become terms
of a contract.

The incremental signals are transmitted

as the square-wave pulse trains Ua1 and
Ua2, phase-shifted by 90elec. The
reference mark signal consists of one or
more reference pulses Ua0, which are
gated with the incremental signals. In
addition, the integrated electronics produce

Position values
The EnDat interface is a digital, bidirectional

interface for encoders. It is capable both of
transmitting position values as well as
transmitting or updating information stored
in the encoder, or saving new information.
Thanks to the serial transmission method,
only four signal lines are required. The
DATA data is transmitted in synchronism
with the CLOCK signal from the subsequent
electronics. The type of transmission
(position values, parameters, diagnostics,
etc.) is selected through mode commands
that the subsequent electronics send to
the encoder. Some functions are available
only with EnDat 2.2 mode commands.

Diagnostic and testing equipment
HEIDENHAIN encoders are provided with

all information necessary for commissioning,
monitoring and diagnostics. The type of
available information depends on whether
the encoder is incremental or absolute and
which interface is used.
Incremental encoders mainly have 1 VPP, TTL
or HTL interfaces. TTL and HTL encoders
monitor their signal amplitudes internally
and generate a simple fault detection
signal. With 1 VPP signals, the analysis of
output signals is possible only in external
test devices or through computation in the
subsequent electronics (analog diagnostics
interface).
Absolute encoders operate with serial
datatransfer. Depending on the interface,
additional 1 VPP incremental signals can
beoutput. The signals are monitored
comprehensively within the encoder. The
monitoring result (especially with valuation
numbers) can be transferred along with the
position value through the serial interface
to the subsequent electronics (digital
diagnostics interface). The following
information is available:
Error message: Position value not reliable
Warning: An internal functional limit of
the encoder has been reached
Valuation numbers:
Detailed information on the encoders
functional reserve
Identical scaling for all HEIDENHAIN
encoders
Cyclic output is possible
This enables the subsequent electronics to
evaluate the current status of the encoder
at little cost even in closed-loop mode.
HEIDENHAIN offers the appropriate PWM
inspection devices and PWT test devices
for encoder analysis. There are two types
of diagnostics, depending on how they are
integrated:
Encoder diagnostics: The encoder is
connected directly to the test or inspection
device. This makes a comprehensive
analysis of encoder functions possible.
Diagnostics in the control loop: The PWM
phase meter is looped into the closed
control loop (e.g. through a suitable
testing adapter). This makes a real-time
diagnosis of the machine or system
possible during operation. The functions
depend on the interface.

Interface electronics
Interface electronics from HEIDENHAIN

adapt the encoder signals to the interface
of the subsequent electronics. They are
used when the subsequent electronics
cannot directly process the output signals
from HEIDENHAIN encoders, or if
additional interpolation of the signals is
necessary.
Input signals of the interface electronics

Interface electronics from HEIDENHAIN
can be connected to encoders with
sinusoidal signals of 1 VPP (voltage signals)
or 11 APP (current signals). Encoders with
the serial interfaces EnDat or SSI can also
be connected to various interface electronics.
Output signals of the interface electronics
Interface electronics with the following
interfaces to the subsequent electronics
are available:
TTL square-wave pulse trains
EnDat 2.2
DRIVE-CLiQ
Yaskawa serial interface
PCI bus
Ethernet
Profibus
Interpolation of the sinusoidal input
signals
In addition to being converted, the sinusoidal
encoder signals are also interpolated in the
interface electronics. This permits finer
measuring steps and, as a result, higher
control quality and better positioning
behavior.

Bench-top design

Formation of a position value

Some interface electronics have an
integrated counting function. Starting from
the last reference point set, an absolute
position value is formed when the reference
mark is traversed, and is transferred to the
subsequent electronics.

measured value memory can buffer
