Designed for applications which demand that the scale be removed easily, the track system consists of aluminium guide rails available in 1 m and 2 m sections, a scale clamp and joining element. It securely retains the magnetic scale whilst allowing it to expand and contract freely.

LinACE™ has a similar design to LVDT transducers. However, it is not an LVDT type transducer.

A magnetoresistive sensor consists of a resistor made of magnetically sensitive alloy strips such as nickel iron (NiFe).

For rotary encoders, the terms singleturn and multiturn are used.

LinACE™ has a similar design to magnetostrictive transducers. However, it is not an magnetostrictive type transducer.

RLS has developed a few software for use with RLS encoders.
