RV1854 Incremental Optical Linear Encoder
- Manufacturer: ELCIS Encoder
- Category: Displacement, Optical Linear Encoders, SENSORS, Linear Transducers
The ELCIS RV1854 is an 18×54 mm incremental optical linear encoder (glass optical scale) with a resolution of 0.5 to 5 µm and an accuracy of ±10 µm. It is an optical linear detector with a photo-etched chrome-plated graduated glass measuring scale (20 µm step), available in various sizes up to a maximum reading length of 2440 mm.
It measures 18×54 mm and has an anodized aluminum cover, and is suitable for multi-axis machine tools, lathes, milling machines, etc. The scale is made of special glass with a coefficient of expansion similar to that of machine tool beds, and the sliding detector head has a special device to maintain parallelism with the glass scale.
Order codes: resolution (05) 0.5 µm with x4 multiplication, (1) 1 µm, (5) 5 µm; electronics (N) driver 26LS31 (connector VD – 9c), 20 mA; power supply (5) 5 V ±5 %; version BZ; options (P) compressed air connection, (5) accuracy ±5 µm and (X) custom option.
