precondition for the high quality of the
output signals.

The accuracy of sealed linear encoders is
specified in grades, which are defined as
follows:

The extreme values ±F of the measuring
curves over any max. one-meter section of
the measuring length lie within the
accuracy grade ±a. They are measured
during the final inspection and documented
in the calibration chart.

With sealed linear encoders, these values

referred to as the system accuracy.

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,

All HEIDENHAIN linear encoders are
inspected before shipping for positioning
accuracy and proper function.

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 traceability—as required by
EN ISO 9001—to 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 measur-
ing 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 –20 °C

to +70 °C 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 LF 485
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 LC 415
it possible, for example, to exchange an
incremental LS or LF against an absolute
LC on a specific machine design (please
note the 20 µm smaller measuring length
of the LF than the LC and LS). In addition, LS 487
the same mounting spars can also be used
regardless of the encoder product family
(LC, LF or LS).

The encoder is mounted so that the sealing

lips are directed downward or away from
splashing water (also see General
Mechanical Information).

Thermal characteristics
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.

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 Shipping brace
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. Lateral
tolerances must also be maintained.

are used to quickly and easily check the
gap of the mounted linear encoder.

Along with the standard procedure of using

two M8 screws to mount the scale unit on x
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 Mounting spar
clamped on during final mounting. Easy
exchange also facilitates servicing. A
mounting spar is recommended for highly-
dynamic applications with measuring
lengths greater than 620 mm. It is always
necessary for measuring lengths starting
from 1240 mm.
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
customer’s 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

If the cable outlet is to the right, the LC 4x5
scanning unit, which is fastened by its end
blocks, can additionally be fixed by clamping
elements. This eliminates the need of a
mounting spar for measuring lengths
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 oblique
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 Sealing system of the LC 1x5
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.

The flow rate is set through a connecting

piece with integrated throttle (see separate
accessories under Protection, page 18).

Thermal characteristics
The thermal behavior of the LB, LC, LF and
LS 100 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 Shipping brace
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
scale unit and the scanning unit easily and
exactly. Lateral tolerances must also be
maintained.

Mounting the multi-section LC 2x1 and
LB 382
The LC 2x1 and LB 382 with measuring
lengths over 3240 mm are mounted on the
machine in individual sections:
• Mount and align the individual housing

• Pull in the scale tape over the entire

• Lubricate the sealing lips and pull them in
• Insert the scanning unit

Diagnostic and testing equipment

HEIDENHAIN encoders provide all infor-

mation 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 data

transfer. Depending on the interface, addi-
Diagnostics in the control loop on HEIDENHAIN controls with display of
tional 1 VPP incremental signals can be out-
the valuation number or the analog encoder signals
put. The signals are monitored comprehen-
sively 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 avail-
able:
• Error message: Position value not reliable
• Warning: An internal functional limit of
the encoder has been reached
• Valuation numbers:
– Detailed information on the encoder’s
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
with little effort even in closed-loop mode.

HEIDENHAIN offers the appropriate PWM Diagnostics using PWM 20 and ATS software
inspection devices and PWT test devices
for encoder analysis. There are two types
of diagnostics, depending on how the
devices 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.
