Absolute Measuring System

Thanks to its compact dimensions the device can be used in very tight installation spaces. It works without contact and is wear-free with high linearity. As a result, even in highly dynamic applications the measurement system provides for optimal position feedback and the best possible control quality. Ideal areas of application are electric axles, linear guidance systems, pick-and- place units, and the drive area of measuring and test equipment.

The magnetic tape length measuring system consists of a sensor head and a magnetically encoded tape (magnetic tape). The sensor head glides at a distance of up to 0.35mm over the magnetically encoded tape, which has alternating polarity.
