: Unlike incremental encoders, these provide the exact position immediately upon power-up without needing a reference run.

: The "LC" (Linear Closed) designation means the scale is protected by an aluminum housing and elastic sealing lips, making it resistant to dust, chips, and splash water.

: Available in various lengths; for example, the 557676-04 variant corresponds to a 440 mm measuring length, while other sub-parts like 557676-13 correspond to 1340 mm . Technical Specifications Specification (Typical for LC 193) Interface Accuracy Grade Grating Pitch Measuring Step Down to 10 nm (depending on subsequent electronics) Protection Class IP53 (IP64 with compressed air) Vibration Resistance Up to 150 m/s²
