4 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION L417M0015EN ‒ 9/10/2019 Passive dust protection The passive dust protection consists of covering strips that seal the openings on the side of the L-417.xx9211E0B's base body and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate. Active dust protection The active dust protection consists of a purge air connector on the base body of the L-417.xx9211E0B, which creates a slight overpressure in the L-417.xx9211E0B and therefore reduces the amount of dust that can penetrate.

Each limit switch sends its signal to the controller on a dedicated line. The controller then interrupts the motion avoiding that the positioner moves until the hard stop and gets damaged. PI positioners have mechanical, noncontact optical or Hall-effect limit switches. Linear Encoder The linear encoder is an incremental sensor for capturing changes in position.

L417M0015EN ‒ 9/10/2019 Function: Optical, magnetic Sensor resolution The sensor can be the critical element of position resolution so it may be necessary to specify the sensor resolution separately. Rotary encoder: Impulses per screw rotation. Linear encoder: Smallest motion still detected by the sensor system. Travel range The maximum possible travel range is limited by the length of the drive screw.
