Magnetic measuring system (iMS)

The Magnetic measuring system has a decisive advantage compared with significantly more expensive optical systems 

General

The iMS contactless magnetic measuring system relies on scanning a magnetically coded measuring tape by means of a magnetically sensitive sensor and is suitable for detection of both linear and radial positions. A decisive advantage compared with significantly more expensive optical systems is provided by its insensitivity to  contamination caused by liquids, greases and dust. Our length measuring system is therefore a cost-effective alternative to other systems on the market.

Available sensor interfaces for further processing in the peripherals are, optionally, a pulse sensor with incremental RS422 AB output (Z optional) and a SIN/COS/(Z optional) sensor with voltage amplitude 1Vss.

Ambient conditions
with no or minimum effect on the measurement norm Chemical resistance to contamination with motor oil, gearbox oil, ATF, hydraulic oil, kerosene, antifreeze,
Clorox disinfectant, turpentine, water, brine.
The materials listed have no or little effect on the long term stability of the measurement standard;
this depends, among other things, on the concentration, the temperature and the time of the contamination.
Please check your own case.
little/average effect on the measurement standard Jet petrol, carburettor fuels, heptanes, alcohols
strong effect on the measurement standard Aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, inorganic acids
