Small and Accurate Encoder



The LIKselect kit-style linear encoder is designed to make machine motion design ideas come to life while saving valuable space and enabling precise positioning within its control loop.

Available from NUMERIK JENA in North America as part of the HEIDENHAIN group, this miniature three-field scanning sensor is offered with a variety of frame designs, allowing the LIKselect to be deeply integrated into complex machine system designs.

With selectable accuracies of ±3 µm/m or ±5 µm/m on a 20 µm pitch scale, the LIKselect encoder is equipped to handle high accuracy positioning tasks, while its 16 mm x 8 mm x 2.2 mm takes up little real estate on the machine.

Features offered in the LIKselect include:

  • Three-field scanning technology with improved signal quality
  • Highly compact and configurable scanning unit
  • 20 µm grating period and measuring steps down to 78.125 nm
  • No phase and offset errors
  • Standard Incremental Interfaces: 1 VPP, TTL or RS-422
  • Very low power consumption and heat accumulation
  • Electronic adjustment capability after mounting

to reduce static mounting errors.
