The new EB260: Revolutionary encoder technology by Baumer

With EB260, Baumer is further filing its claim in maximum customer benefit as a technology leader. The innovative encoder series EB260 and EB260F adds another product family with pioneering technology for smart automation to the unrivalled broad Baumer encoder portfolio.

(April 8, 2025) Baumer opens up new potential in drive technology with innovative LowHarmonics encoder technology. Compact incremental magnetic ring encoder EB260 is the first product available with this revolutionary technology of signal processing. The bearingless encoder merges the precision of optical sensing with the durability and cost-efficiency of magnetic systems - and all this with minimal installation space requirements. LowHarmonics signal processing with auto-calibration eliminates signal errors due to installation, temperature, aging and mechanical factors to ensure maximum precision and control performance. The integrated air gap monitor continuously monitors the distance to the magnetic rotor. Even the slightest change by damage to machine mechanics is monitored and reported to the higher-level system.


Magnetic encoder EB260 is extremely robust thanks to the bearingless design and hermetically encapsulated electronics. Operation is entirely free from wear, there is no self-heating and the encoder is immune to shaft currents, strong shocks and shaft movements. Flexible shaft diameters and a mere 11 mm installation depth enable particularly compact integration and together with the outstanding measuring precision open up an innovative application potential in drive technology.

Another benefit of the space-saving high-performance encoder is configuration flexibility. This software behind is the intuitive Baumer Sensor Suite, the configurable motion monitor and switching output as well as square-wave, sine/cosine and IO-Link interfaces.

With EB260, Baumer is further filing its claim in maximum customer benefit as a technology leader. The innovative encoder series EB260 and EB260F adds another product family with pioneering technology for smart automation to the unrivalled broad Baumer encoder portfolio.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
