Incremental magnetic linear encoders in different resolutions

The incremental linear encoders allow contactless and wear-free measurements and represent a cost-effective alternative for many machine requirements and applications. The unguided systems in combination with a magnetic ring are basically also suitable for angle measurements.

BMIX

BMIX magnetic, battery-backed quasi-absolute encoder Permanent position detection, even in de-energized condition

The ELGO measuring system BMIX is based on the physical principle of length and position measurement by using magneto-sensitive components. It is used for a high-precision detection of the position, length or speed. A rechargeable battery line integrated in the sensor housing transforms the incremental measuring system into a quasi-absolute measuring system, as the current position is – even in the de-energized state – permanently detected and furtherprocessed internally.
