There are a variety of reasons why an engineer might want to use the LP35 series over the more conventional optical encoders. The magnetic technology that the LP35 series offers is more linear than disc magnets using Hall effect technology, allowing better process control. As mentioned in the previous slide, the LP35 form is more compact and is compatible with existing optical encoder designs, but offers a vibration specification that is 10X most optical encoders. Lastly, the LP35 series offers a wide temperature rating and is more resistant to seal failure since the electronics are potted.
