LinACE™

InAxis Linear Absolute Magnetic Shaft Encoder

LinACE™ is an extremely robust absolute linear cylindrical encoder system designed to be integrated into the servomechanism as a transducer, providing accurate measurements with excellent resolution and repeatability. It can be used as a control device or integrated directly into hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical actuators and linear motors as a position or velocity feedback element.

Measuring length up to 450 mm
Accuracy to ±5 μm
Asynchronous serial, PWM, SSI and BiSS interface

Built-in self-monitoring
Integral bearings
Small footprint
Suitable for highly dynamic control loops
