Leine & Linde Encoders

Leine and Linde

Leine & Linde manufactures robust incremental and absolute encoders and accessories. An incremental encoder is a type of sensor that is often installed on an electric motor and which is used to provide feedback on the motor's speed. Absolute encoders on the other hand are used to indicate an exact position for some kind of motion. The areas of application for these encoders vary considerably, and the products can be found in many different industries, for example in the paper, steel and wind power industries. Encoders are also regularly used in various types of measuring or testing systems.

Leine & Linde sets high quality requirements and works continuously on improvements in order to meet future demands for encoders. As a customer of ours, you will benefit from a product that is adapted specifically for your application. A robust encoder with a long lifetime and high quality down to the smallest detail. An encoder from Leine & Linde means that you can avoid unnecessary production stoppages. Find out about our unique range – and improve your profitability!

The 1000 Series (Extreme) Encoders
Within the steel industry there are many examples of environments in which there are extreme requirements in terms of robustness, mechanical forces, vibration and shock. For these types of applications we have designed the 1000 series, a range of encoders with exceptional durability that are able to withstand an exposed environment.

The high encapsulation level of IP67 protects the encoders' internal parts from dust and liquids.

This product is also available in a stainless steel design as a special option. A number of incremental and absolute versions are available, and a combination of the two encoder types can be integrated in the same product.

The absolute variants are available with interfaces for parallel communication, SSI, EnDat, PROFIBUS, PROFINET, DeviceNet™ and CANopen.
The 800 Series (Heavy Duty) Encoders
If you are looking for the most robust, maintenance-free and cost-effective pulse encoder, then the 800 series is the first choice for most engineers!

There is an option available for the encoders in the 800 series called ADS™ (Advanced Diagnostic System). This is a system that is used for condition-based or preventative maintenance, guaranteeing the reliability of the application.

These encoders are designed for use in demanding environments where they are exposed to electrically and mechanically high-stress installations.

In order to guarantee operation and to extend the service life of the encoders, we also offer accessories and complete design solutions as optional extras. These also reduce the total cost of your application.
The 600 Series (Industrial) Encoders
The 600 series includes absolute encoders that can position singleturn or multiturn movements. They are just as suitable for use in industrial automation as in demanding environments.

The encoders can be connected via advanced fieldbus interfaces such as PROFIBUS, PROFINET or CAN. In addition, communications interfaces such as SSI and EnDat are also supported. The robust construction of the shaft or hollow shaft designs means that these models of encoder are easy to install and commission.
The 500 Series (Robust) Encoders
Versatile and modular – these are the encoders in the 500 series. The encoders conform to a European industrial standard and they have a hollow shaft or a shaft design to ensure ease of installation. If you are looking for a standard encoder with an unrivalled performance, then the 500 series is the right choice for you.

The encoders are used in many different types of industrial applications, such as electric motors, cranes, elevators and general automation.

If the standard selection of interfaces is not right for your application's particular requirements, customised and cost-effective solutions may be provided with very short lead times.
The 300 Series (Miniature) Encoders

Robust and extremely reliable miniature encoders – that is the 300 series. These incremental encoders, with an external diameter of just 30 millimetres, are intended for installation in applications where space is at a premium.

The encoders in this series support various types of incremental electrical interfaces, such as TTL, HTL and RS-422. Typical applications for miniature encoders are harvesting equipment and industrial high-pressure machines.

The encoders in this series have a very high encapsulation level (IP67) as well as a shock and vibration-resistant design – something which guarantees a long service life. The result is a durable and highly-reliable sensor solution.

Leine and Linde CHI703 Encoder

LEINE and LINDE just released their latest drive encoder, the CHI 703. This new addition complements their already broad assortment of encoders.


Design features include:

  • Extremely low profile for direct mounting onto the motor shaft
  • Hollow shafts available in both inch and metric dimensions up to 1" / 25 mm
  • Dual set of heavy duty bearings for harsh environments
  • Electrical interfaces include
    • 1Vpp
    • HC HTL
    • HTL
    • RS422
    • TTL


In keeping with the LEINE and LINDE tradition of robust and heavy duty encoders the CHI 703 separates itself from the competition!

The physical appearance alone says it all!

With thousands of competitive solutions in the market place the possibilities are endless. This includes motor feedback for printing, robotics, web process, construction cranes and oil and gas exploration.
