Absolute Linear Position Sensors
Absolute Linear Position Sensors (Absolute Linear Encoders) are designed for measuring and checking displacements, dimensions, run-outs, surface profiles, deformations.

Riftek's absolute linear encoder series includes two models:

  • RF251 for hard industrial environments
  • RF256 sensors with a built-in display option for laboratory environments.

Operation of the sensors is based on the principle of photoelectric scanning of special scale, connected with a measurement tip of the sensor. Radiation of a LED 1 is collimated by a lens 2 and is directed on a scale 3. The image of area of the scale is examined by CMOS array 4 and is analyzed by signal processor which calculates position of the scale.

High precision contact measurements:

  • Parts Dimensions
  • Width Measurements
  • Object and Target Displacements
  • Runout
  • Flatness
  • Object Deformation
RF251 for hard industrial environments
  • wide temperature range
  • IP57

Measuring range, mm: 3 and 25
Accuracy, µm: ±1
Resolution, µm: 0,1; 0,5 and 1
