Linear Encoders
-
Linear encoders measure the position of linear axes without intervening mechanical elements. This eliminates a series of potential error sources such as backlash, pitch error, or heating of the recirculating ball screw. Wherever rigorous position accuracy and high machining speeds are needed, linear encoders are essential.

Linearizers
-
Gain Shape Linearizer Amplifiers are used in a number of applications where it's necessary to flatten the gain characteristic of the preceding or following component. This would include flattening the attenuation of a long cable run, or perhaps changing the input gain response to an MPM (Microwave Power Module) or TWT (Traveling Wave Tube) to compensate for the gain variation within the tube.

Linear Amplifiers
LA Series
-
Motion Control Systems'' linear amplifiers are high performance servo controllers that produce very smooth sinusoidal motor currents using a linear amplifier output stage. In combination with a sinusoidally wound MCS brushless motor, the linear amplifier can achieve extremely precise rotational control with less than 1% torque ripple, no acoustic noise and almost undetectable levels of electromagnetic interference. Standard programmable features allow greater design flexibility, easy installation and start-up.

Incremental Encoders
-
Versatile, compact and flexible – Incremental encodersIncremental encoders are used when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required. These encoders provide information about the position, angle and number of revolutions. The number of lines per revolution determines the resolution. The current position can be determined by counting these pulses from a reference point. Upon activating the machine, a reference run to the reference point is required to determine the absolute position of the encoder.

Audio over IP (AoIP) has been embraced by the radio side of broadcasting for many years where the myriad advantages of networked audio via the Livewire+ AES67 standard is well known. Now, AoIP is available for television audio thanks to Linear Acoustic AERO.soft™. The Linear Acoustic SDI xNode de-embeds two separate HD/SD-SDI inputs, converts it to up to 16 channels of Livewire+ AES67 audio, makes it available for processing, upmixing, and encoding in the brand-new AERO.soft Processing Engine, and then re-embeds the audio into two independent SDI outputs. This provides unmatched flexibility, scalability and channel density.

Linear Stages
-
A new set of motorized tables developed by Klocke Nanotechnik allows high strokes at small volumes. The modules are driven by the Nanomotor®. Loads of up to two kg can be moved over centimeters of stroke with down to 2 nm resolution. Manipulation in many degrees of freedom is possible without backlash. The modules NMT xx-L are longer, but thin like a pencil. In most of the NMT-modules position measurement systems can be included without increasing the size. The resolution of the position sensor is better than 10 nm. All NMT modules can easily be fixed onto each other. Very small connectors allow the exchange of a module without removing cables. The NMT-Zxx are modules for vertical movement. They have an internal load compensation to lift up loads. Nanomotor-Grippers and force sensors that can easily be fixed on these modules are available.
