High‑Accuracy Reflective Linear Encoder for Compact Precision Systems

The BH25 is a high‑accuracy reflective Laserscale designed for precision positioning in compact and low‑profile applications.

Utilising a laser interferometric principle with reflective scanning, it provides stable, high‑resolution measurement in environments where space, accuracy, and reliability are critical.

Key features

  • High accuracy over practical ranges– Delivers accuracy down to ±1 μm over 420 mm, ensuring reliable precision 
  • High resolution capability – Achieves resolutions down to 3.8 pm when paired with an interpolator (e.g. BD700) 
  • Compact, low‑profile design – Thin 12 mm head makes it ideal for space‑constrained systems 
  • High response speed – Supports speeds up to 1,800 mm/s for dynamic positioning 
  • Non‑contact measurement – Eliminates return error and ensures long-term stability

How it works

The BH25 uses a diffraction grating interferometric system with a reflective optical design.

  • Signal pitch of 250 nm enables high‑quality measurement signals 
  • Reflective scale design allows for compact integration
  • When combined with an interpolator such as the BD700, extremely high resolutions are achieved

This results in:

  • Stable measurement performance
  • High signal quality
  • Repeatable positioning accuracy

Typical applications

  •  Low-profile precision stages
  • Semiconductor back‑end processing equipment
  • Precision microscopes and optical systems
  • Compact motion systems with high accuracy requirements 

Why Choose the BH25

  • Ideal for high‑accuracy measurement in compact systems
  • Combines precision, speed, and small form factor
  • Offers flexible integration with different glass scale options
  • Provides interferometric-level performance without system complexity
