RLS
Linear and Ring Magnetic Technology

Is it possible to order just the ring without the readhead and is it possible to order custom size rings?

Yes, it is possible to order only the magnetic ring/scale. A magnetic ring or scale acts as an information carrier. A functioning encoder system consists of a magnetic ring or scale and a readhead. In order to guarantee the specifications given in the RLS data sheets and to offer our support, we recommend the use of RLS readheads.

If you use a readhead from another manufacturer, it might be that the system may not function properly or will perform poorly, especially when you use a ring/scale with a reference mark, it is possible that the readhead may not be able to detect it.
