The bearingless encoder system with Limes read head and magnetic rings and the linear measuring system with Limes read head and magnetic tapes are non-contact systems that have been specially developed for demanding environmental conditions and tight installation spaces. In addition to the standard IP67 read head, the Limes family now offers a new read head specially designed for outdoor use with a particularly robust aluminum housing with stainless steel cover and protection classes IP69k, IP68 and IP67. According to Kübler, the special encapsulation technology enables optimum resistance to condensation.
