  • Sizing and Applying Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensors
    temperature, pressure, flow, force, or position, for example. The type of measurement and the sensor technology will dictate the set of parameters which are important in specifying and sizing the appropriate sensor. Linear-position sensors measure absolute distance along a motion axis
  • Linear Encoders
    that a scale pattern with a 2-mm pitch produces a 1- m linear resolution. However, Inductosyns are not as widely used as other systems. The mounting and adjusting of the scales can be tedious; and the system must be protected from contaminants. Magnetic encoders are a viable alternative to optical types
  • Linear-Measuring System Saves Space
    mm not accurate enough for machinetool applications. Direct-measurement, linear-displacement systems are a step up. In these devices, a sensor reads position from a scale along the entire length of the linear axis. Combined with numericaldisplacement interpolation, the units deliver positioning
  • Magnetostriction in Automotive Position Measurement
    , and others. Magnetostrictive linear position measurement was limited however in the number of applications it could. address because each sensor, though modular, required handwork to assemble. Industrial versions of the sen-. sors come in a myriad of types and sizes to suit the wide range of industrial
  • When to go Linear
    for a linear-encoder system. Linear-Encoder Terms. Term. Definition. Abbe error. A linear-positioning error caused by angular error, such as tilt and wobble, creating a measurement offset from the encoder and the linear plane of motion being measured. Accuracy. Quantifies how far a reported position
  • Resulting Position Error After Mulitpoint Linear Error Compensation with the LIDA 400 (.pdf)
    The accuracy of incremental linear encoders is comprised mainly of the position error over larger distance intervals and the position error within one signal period. With the LIDA 400, the position error over the measuring length is measured in a comparative measurement with a calibrated reference
  • Replacing Linear Encoders with Magnetostrictive Technology
    with the. position measurement, magnetostrictive sensors can be installed. encoder's ability to read the marks. in electrical linear motors, as well as electro-mechanical actuators,. pneumatic, hydraulic, spindle or power-grip belt drives, or wherever. Magnetostrictive position sensors, on the other hand, do

    vehicle sets the pace. The same holds true in automation. Processes can run only as fast as the slowest device in the system, be it a sensor, actuator, or mechanical drive. When traverse speeds increase, so does the potential for linear measurement errors. Here, physical limitations, particularly
