Products & services

Linear Magnetic Encoder Systems
Magnetic position measuring systems Magnetic encoder systems, consisting of a reading head and magnetic ring Incremental or absolute measurement. Various designs up to circuit board solutions. BENEFITS - Fast and precise measurement determination with high repeatability - Wear-free system - contactless measuring principle enables reading from a distance - Extremely robust system - dust, chips, oil, liquids do not affect the magnetic measurement - Insensitive to shock and vibration - Easy to handle and install

Rotary Magnetic Encoder Systems
Bearingless magnetic encoder systems, consisting of a reading head and magnetic ring Incremental or absolute measurement. Various designs up to circuit board solutions. BENEFITS - Fast and precise measurement value determination with high repeatability - Wear-free system - contactless measuring principle enables reading from a distance - Extremely robust system - dust, chips, oil, liquids do not affect the magnetic measurement - Insensitive to shock and vibration - Easy to handle and install
