- Optical encoders - LI Serie
The LI Series encoders are high-resolution, non-contact miniature linear encoders that provide two counting channels in quadrature (called A and B) as output signals.
The two output waveforms are 90 degrees out of phase and indicate both position and direction of movement. For example, if channel A is in front of channel B, the movement is from left to right on the scale when looking at the pattern side of the scale. Otherwise, if B is in front of A, the movement is in the opposite direction.

Please note: The encoders are not available as single components but only in combination with a drive.
