N = reference mark (flag)

A metal flag integrated in the target wheel is detected when its position is exactly between two teeth. This reference signal can be used as a positon reference. This is required, for instance, for the automatic changing of a tool in a milling or grinding spindle.

M = reference mark (groove)

Depending on size and geometry of the target wheel, the target wheel version with a reference tab can only be used up to certain speeds. For speeds beyond 30.000 min-1, a MiniCoder detecting a reference groove integrated in the target wheel is used. For technical reasons, the target wheel is in this case composed of two parts.

Z = Reference mark (flag over groove)

This MiniCoder version can be used for scanning a target wheel manufactured in one piece. The system permits reaching speeds of more than 70.000 min-1. The reference flag is in alignment with a tooth of the pulse track.

R = Amplitude Control

The GEL 2443 MiniCoder offers facilities for stabilizing fluctuations in the sin/cos amplitudes resulting from changes to the measuring distance and temperature. This greatly reduces the effort needed to install the unit: there is no longer any need to readjust the MiniCoder to optimize the signals.

3 = Module 0.3

The module describes the relation between the number of teeth and the outer diameter of a target wheel. The smaller the module the smaller the outer diameter for the same number of teeth. The air gap to be observed between sensor and target wheel is less with module 0.3 than with module 0.5.


da= m • (z+2)

da = outer diameter m = module z = number of teeth

The MiniCoder must be ordered compatible with the target wheel.

Accessories (interpolation electronics)

Mini Coder Gel 2443 - Interpolation Accessories - Lenord & Bauer Rail Speed Sensors and Rotary Pulse Encoders

The MiniCoder’s 1 VPP output signals are generally interpolated by the installed controller. If your controller does not offer this facility, Lenord + Bauer can supply standalone interpolation electronics units from its series GEL 212, GEL 213 or GEL 214. These convert the 1 VPP output signals to TTL square-wave signals (maximum interpolation factor = 512). We will be happy to send you our product documentation on request, or you can simply visit our website at www.lenord.de and download it from there.

Custom-made target wheels, Standard target wheels

Custom-made target wheel

Target wheel are made to individual specifications on request of the customer. Please send us a dimensional drawing of your target wheel (if possible, as a dxf-file) [email protected].

Target Wheels

For detecting rotary movements, the MiniCoders and target wheels form a complete unit. The target wheel size and hence , its diameter are directly dependent on the module and the number of teeth, i.e.:

z = (da/ m) - 2

da = m • (z+2)

Standard target wheels (see table) are available at short notice ex factory.
