LinkHigh‑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
