At Leine Linde, safety comes first. We want to help you create a safe work environment and reduce risk for your machines and systems. Together with our knowledge and functional safety solutions, we can ensure that you get a precise and safe system.

Ready for the toughest challenges

For several decades, Leine Linde has been a reliable partner that provide robust encoders for the toughest environments. With the FSI 608 we continue our tradition to supply quality and maximum value with our products. It not only fulfills the safety levels demanded, but also has a very robust design with high mechanical specification.

The FSI 608 is available with a variety of selectable mechanical and electrical features. The wide range of shafts and flanges makes the FSI 608 suitable to most types of mechanical mounting variants on the market. The FSI 608 is available as singleturn resolution with 13 or 19 bit and as multiturn in 25 or 31 bit variants. The standard encoder has an anodized aluminum enclosure with stainless steel shaft, but even enclosure in stainless steel will be available.

As part of our functional safety solutions, the FSI 608 offers safe position, speed and acceleration values that gives you full control of the machine.

Fulfilling the safety requirements

In the FSI 608 we give you safe communication for a PROFINET environment with the PROFIsafe protocol that supplies safe real time values for the automation market.

To ensure a reliable safety solution, the FSI 608 built-in safety functions seamlessly connects with your safety system. The user can fulfill the safety requirements and prevent process errors and downtime giving you a solid investment for your machine.
