Angular measuring system

The principle of integrating the SRM measuring system into a rotary table bearing was successfully implemented in Schaeffler’s YRTM range of bearings, but has now been developed further.

The SRM measuring system combines high measuring speed and measurement accuracy with a reduced design envelope and increased robustness. The system is insensitive to contamination (e.g. lubricants and coolants), offers a rotary axis with an open centre (freeing up space in the centre of the machine) and reduces alignment errors. With fewer mechanical components, the system is also easy to replace and maintain.
