Magnetic Encoding Technology
Darrel Davey describes how MagLine Incremental systems work.
Magnetic encoders are known for their ability to work in tough environments. In this short video, SIKO Products Inc. President Darrel Davey describes how MagLine Incremental systems work. They include a magnetic band attached to the measurement surface, a sensor, and a signal translation module that feeds to a controller. The band is manufactured with evenly-spaced north and south magnetic poles along its length. As the powered sensor moves along the path of the band, it outputs a number of pulses between each pole. These sensors can operate in both absolute and incremental modes. www.sikoproducts.com

magnetic encoder
Dear all,
In the course of a project headed by the University of Economics and Business Vienna, we are looking for potential application fields of a magnetic encoder.
Basically the technology allows measuring the position of a magnet.
Can you imagine a field, where for instance one or several of the following problems occur;
• Positions have to be measured contactless
• Extreme external conditions (dust, other magnetic fields, temperature, vibrations) have to be passed over
• Maintenance is difficult due to the high complexity of the final product/application
• Linear, rotating or three-dimensional positions have to be measured
• The space is limited and expensive
• It is vivid to avoid/know about malfunctions of position tracking systems
• Easy implementing and catch/use of the signal is necessary
• An energy effective solution is important.
Or do you know somebody who could imagine that or needs that?
Thank you very much!
