Renishaw Encoders RGH41 Series Readhead
Renishaws 40 m RGH41 series readheads offer all the benefits of the established 20 m RG2 linear encoder system, such as reflective tape scale, patented filtering optics, set-up LED, good dirt immunity and high speed.
These compact readheads with integral interpolation provide an increased range of resolutions to match the demands of a wide range of applications, whilst their high speed enables an increase in the productivity of the end-users system. The 40 m RGH41 increases the already generous set-up tolerances of the RG2, whilst maintaining Renishaws famous contamination immunity. For added flexibility, dual limit switch sensing is included as standard to enable dedicated signals for each end-of-axis indication, along with a repeatable reference or datum mark.
These benefits give the RGH41 greater flexibility complementing the breadth of applications in which the RG2 is already used, from co-ordinate measuring and layout machines to electronics assembly and test, linear motors and a host of custom linear motor solutions. Digital range RGH41T - 10 m resolution RGH41D - 5 m resolution RGH41G - 2 m resolution RGH41X - 1 m resolution RGH41N - 0.4 m resolution RGH41W - 0.2 m resolution RGH41Y - 0.1 m resolution RGH41H - 50 nm resolution Analogue range RGH41B - 1 Vpp differential (single limit) RGH41A - 1 Vpp differential (dual limit)
