Heidenhain LF 401 Linear Scale Encoder

The Heidenhain LF 401 Linear Scale Encoder is a precision linear scale sensor that converts straight-line motion into an electrical signal to provide accurate position feedback along a 450 mm measurement length. The LF401 designation identifies this unit as part of Heidenhain's LF 401 family of linear scales, designed for integration into automation equipment and machine tools that require reliable axis feedback. By delivering direct linear position data, it supports closed-loop control and repeatable motion across applications such as CNC machines and automated systems that rely on precise axis measurement. This model name reflects the product identity and its role as a high-accuracy linear position sensor within precision manufacturing environments.
