Treotham Australia’s Elgo GMIX2 incremental sensor can be installed with a distance from up to 4mm of the magnetic tape.
The measuring system features a resolution of 2.5 mm (four edge triggered), a repeating accuracy of +/- 2.5mm, and a maximum operation speed of 10 m/s (output frequency 4 KHz), making it suitable for applications in storage or conveyor techniques for longer distances.
Due to the wear-free measuring principle (by magnetic scanning) and high protection class of IP67, the sensor works reliably in rough environments, according to Treotham.
The compact sensor offers an integrated translator circuit, which converts the detected signals into 90° shifted square wave signals A and B (like output signals of rotary encoders). This allows GMIX2 to be connected directly to follow-up circuits, such as position indicators.
