HEIDENHAIN LS Series Linear Encoders – New Old Stock

We hold a stock of 23 HEIDENHAIN LS series sealed linear encoders for CNC machine repair, maintenance and axis-encoder replacement. The full HEIDENHAIN ID number and serial number of every unit are listed below, so you can match your existing encoder exactly.

Condition: New Old Stock (NOS). All encoders are new and unused, in their original HEIDENHAIN packaging. They have been kept in long-term storage, so the outer cartons show shelf wear (scuffs, tape, handwritten marks). The encoders themselves have never been installed.

Product Overview

HEIDENHAIN LS series encoders are sealed incremental linear encoders for direct measurement of machine-axis position. They are widely used on machining centers, milling machines, lathes, grinding machines, EDM machines and other precision equipment.

  • Replacement parts: for maintaining existing machines where the original encoder specification must be matched.
  • Controller compatibility: a HEIDENHAIN CNC is not required. Compatibility depends on the encoder interface and the feedback input of the machine control.
  • Match the exact ID: encoders of the same LS model can differ in signal, interpolation, reference marks, accuracy and connection details.

Compatibility notice: model and measuring length alone do not guarantee interchangeability. Please send a clear photo of the nameplate on your existing encoder. We recommend matching the complete HEIDENHAIN ID and confirming the electrical and mechanical specifications before ordering.

What to Check Before Replacement

  • Identification: model, complete HEIDENHAIN ID, measuring length (ML) and serial number.
  • Electrical: output signal / interface, interpolation or resolution, supply voltage, reference-mark configuration, connector and pin assignment.
  • Mechanical: encoder profile, overall length, mounting dimensions, scanning-unit orientation, cable exit and installation space.

CNC & Drive Compatibility

HEIDENHAIN linear encoders can be used with non-HEIDENHAIN controls when the feedback interface is compatible. Compatibility should be determined from the original encoder ID and the machine’s feedback requirements, not from machine brand, CNC brand or axis travel alone.

How to Request a Quote

Send us a photo of your original encoder nameplate, or the complete HEIDENHAIN ID, model and ML. If available, also include the machine maker and model, the CNC control and the axis (X/Y/Z). We will check our physical stock for an exact match and reply with availability and price.
