FORTiS enclosed linear encoders
Featuring Renishaw's proven absolute encoder technology within an exceptionally robust enclosed design, FORTiS encoders deliver high performance measurement in the harshest of environments, offering significant benefits over conventional systems.
The FORTiS encoder series has several unique features that increase its robustness against vibration, such as the use of tuned mass dampers.
FORTiS linear encoders are designed to be installed by assembly operators, without the need for technician-level skills and equipment. The integral set-up LED provides an instant visual verification of the encoder installation.
Thanks to the unique use of DuraSeal lip seals, FORTiS encoders allow many users to employ a low flow air purge philosophy. Renishaw says this provides all the reliability benefits of an air purge but reduces compressed air consumption by up to 91% when compared with other enclosed linear encoders.
