Leine Linde FSI 608 – Maximum functional safety for industrial drives.

Automation & Robotics

With the FSI 608, Leine Linde presents a new highly robust safety rotary encoder that has been specially developed for use in safety-critical industrial environments. It expands the portfolio of reliable FSI products and is aimed at users who want to combine precise position data with certified functional safety.

What makes the FSI 608 stand out

Secure position feedback via FSI protocol

The FSI protocol enables the direct transmission of safety-relevant encoder data to modern safety controllers. This makes systems easier to design and integrate more efficiently – without additional hardware such as redundant signal lines or external safety modules.

Meets the highest safety requirements

The FSI 608 meets international functional safety standards (among others SIL 2/3, PL d/e) and offers:

  • Safe absolute position information
  • Integrated diagnostics
  • Monitoring of fault conditions
  • High data integrity even over long cable runs

This makes the encoder suitable for demanding safety functions such as:

  • Emergency stop monitoring
  • Safe speed (SLS)
  • Safe position (SLP)
  • Safe direction-of-rotation monitoring
Optimized for extreme industrial conditions

Leine Linde is known for extremely rugged solutions – and the FSI 608 is no exception.

Your benefits at a glance:
  • High resistance to shock, heat and vibration
  • A durable housing, ideal for heavy-duty applications
  • Dust and moisture resistance
  • Low-maintenance continuous operation

This keeps it reliable even where other encoders already reach their limits.

Easy installation & low operating costs

Thanks to its compact design, standard flange options and simple electrical integration, the FSI 608 can be easily integrated into a wide range of machine and plant concepts. Its long service life reduces maintenance intervals and minimizes total operating costs.

  • Ideal for safety-critical applications:
  • Steel, paper and mining industries
  • Heavy drive and conveying systems
  • Wind turbines
  • Crane and lifting systems
  • Process and energy engineering

The Leine Linde FSI 608 offers a powerful combination of precise position detection, certified functional safety and high robustness. For demanding industrial plants it is the ideal choice to ensure maximum safety, system stability and availability.
