SICK launched a new linear encoder product family for high-precision detection of piston positions in hydraulic cylinders and monitoring linear movements in machines. The DAX linear encoder product ...

The SIKO MagLine Encoder MSA111C features DRIVE-CLiQ[1] interface and SIL2. The sensor has been tested and certified as SIL 2 compliant according to EN 61508, performance level ‘d’, category 3 ...

Linear encoders are often essential. Even where they’re not, benefits they offer can justify the additional cost they incur. Linear encoders bypass the mechanical linkages of rotary-to-linear motion ...

The ANS/ANM58 Profinet from Sick Sensor Intelligence delivers rapid, bi-directional communication with PLCs. The design includes an improved optical measurement system for high precision movement ...

Absolute Non-contact Linear Encoders from SICK Linear encoders consist of a read head (sensor) and a reference scale (measuring element). The non-contact principle of operation means that the position ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...
