Overview
The LCS08 is a cable-actuated position sensor using an incremental (optical) encoder to measure cable travel and provide a Push-pull, TTL or HTL compatible output. It is designed for industrial and machine-tool applications, offering long mechanical life and simple mounting.

Main features

• Technology: Incremental encoder (optical)
• Measuring range: 3500…8250 mm
• Available resolutions: 50 µm and 25 µm; options also expressed as 0.1 mm/ppr – 0.2 mm/ppr depending on configuration
• Output signal: ABZ (A,B,Z) or A/,A, B/,B, Z/,Z
• Signal type: Push-pull, TTL Line driver or HTL Line driver
• Supply voltage: 8 – 24 Vdc, 5 Vdc or 5 – 30 Vdc (depending on version)
• Consumption: < 40 mA (at 24 Vdc)
• Electrical connections: cable exit (2.5 m standard)
• Maximum measuring speed: 1 m/s
• Protection rating: IP65
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Mass: < 2200 g
• Operating temperature: -20 to 80 °C
• Storage temperature: -30 to 90 °C
• Mounting: simple

Applications and benefits

• Position and displacement measurement with incremental encoder interface for integration with PLCs and data acquisition systems.
• Standardized output (Push-pull/TTL/HTL) facilitating interfacing with measurement electronics and displays.
• Robust design suitable for industrial environments (IP65, aluminium housing).
