RSF Elektronik Linear Encoder Readhead
Compact optical linear encoder reader head
Type: MS 45.96-0 M Serial Number: 45 367 974-01 Barcode Label: 828523-01
Key Specifications - Supply Voltage: +5 V DC - Signal Type: LD 5 V (differential TTL) - Signal Interval: 200 µm (grating pitch) - RI-Code: 01 (reference mark variant) - Cable Code: R35 (cable and connector type) - Manufacturer: RSF Elektronik (Austria)
Description This is a readhead that operates with an open scale (glass or metal) placed alongside a motion axis. It optically senses the scale and outputs position data with high precision. The 200 µm pitch allows for precise interpolation by external electronics (DROs, CNCs, etc.).
Typical Features - Compact form factor - Open-style scanning (not enclosed like MSA 670 series) - High-resolution incremental output (via interpolation) - TTL-compatible signal with standard 5V logic - Reference mark (RI) support for absolute positioning
Common Applications - Precision linear stages - Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) - High-end CNC lathes/mills - Semiconductor assembly and inspection - Digital readout retrofits
