The document describes an interferential linear encoder called the MS 82 Series. It uses a glass or glass ceramic scale with a phase grating and a scanning reticle to produce two 90-degree phase shifted sinusoidal measurement signals. This allows it to achieve high resolution position measurement over long travel distances at high speeds, with integrated interpolation providing sub-micron resolution. Key features include a non-contact reflective design, adjustable reference marks, and various output options.
