Red Lion is now offering an integrated encoder and spring loaded measuring wheel assembly, available in an easy-to-use, compact unit. The new LSM is a versatile solution for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces in almost any application. Its spring-loaded torsion arm provides a simple-to-adjust torsion load, allowing the LSM to be mounted in almost any orientation, even upside-down.

The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible providing mounting access from either side. The LSM housing is a durable, conductive composite material that will eliminate static build up. With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute and a wide variety of configuration options, it's easy to see the LSM is the ideal solution for countless applications.

Common applications for the LSM include:
Web Tension Control, Paper Monitoring, Glue Dispensing, Linear Material Monitoring, Conveyor Systems, Printing, Labeling, and Document Handling.
