SIKO
Distance and angle measurement is a standard task in machinery building and engineering industries.
A magnetic length measurement system - consisting of magnetic band, magnetic sensor, translator, and display/controller - is a rugged an economical solution.
Past solutions were rotary encoders with rack and pinion, wire-actuated transducers, glass scales, capacitive sensors or magnetostrictive linear. Their disadvantages include: mechanical wear, measuring errors due to backlash and aging, high maintenance and installation costs, poor resolution ...
The SIKO magnetic measurement system avoids these disadvantages and offers many advantages, making this technology suitable for a wide range of applications.
SIKO provides a number of product families based upon magnetic pole spacing. Specific elements of the MAGLINE incremental product line are listed below and grouped by family. Elements are combined to support various systems. This table provides a functional overview of each type of element.
