MS

Incremental Magnetic Scales

The robust RLS magnetic scales consist of a stainless steel carrier and an elastomer-bonded ferrite. The elasto-ferrite layer is magnetised with 2 mm, 2.032 mm or 5 mm long alternating magnetic poles that form an incremental magnetic pattern. Custom magnetisation is also possible.
