Leine & Linde

🇸🇪 Sweden Industrial Sensors

Robust encoders, sensors and system electronics for industrial applications, heavy-duty environments and demanding motion feedback.

Leine & Linde AB is a Swedish manufacturer of robust encoders, sensors and system electronics headquartered in Strängnäs. The company was founded in 1967 by Per-Olov Leine and Henrik Linde and is now part of the HEIDENHAIN Group. Leine & Linde is known for products designed for harsh environments where speed, position, strain or motion feedback must remain reliable despite vibration, dirt, cold, moisture or demanding industrial operating conditions.

Products and applications

Leine & Linde develops rotary encoders, heavy-duty encoders, incremental encoders, absolute encoders, sensors, ESR strain sensors and system electronics for industrial applications. Its products are used in steel mills, wind turbines, cranes, shipbuilding, offshore applications, construction machines, paper industry, automated warehouses and potentially explosive atmospheres. The profile should emphasise robust feedback and monitoring for demanding motion applications, not generic encoder supply.
