The enclosed models are best suited for harsh environments. The sealing lips on the extrusion keep out coolants and contamination. For applications where the Linear Encoders are used in very harsh environments, there are methods of extra protection (IP 64) beyond the enclosed unit´s standard set of sealing lips.
