Incremental linear encoder and incremental rotary angle encoder

Magnetically coded sensors

Available in:

4 Series

The incremental linear and rotary encoders from Balluff are designed for almost any measuring length and enable precise incremental linear displacement and position measurement in a wide range of industrial applications. They provide reliable position and speed information and are particularly suitable for dynamic motion control tasks.

Incremental rotary angle measurement can also be implemented for special applications. This is achieved exclusively using a magnetically encoded magnetic tape designed for larger radii. As a result, the system is ideally suited for large‑diameter rotary applications that require precise incremental rotary position measurement. Traditional incremental angle sensors for small shaft diameters are not part of this portfolio.

The special features

  • Precise incremental linear displacement measurement for almost any measuring length
  • Incremental rotary angle measurement exclusively with magnetic tape and suitable for large radii
  • High system availability thanks to long-term stable magnetic tape with Permagnet® technology
  • Robust metal or plastic housing for a long service life
  • Space-saving design for easy integration
  • Measuring lengths can be extended as required, even beyond 100 meters
  • Freely configurable reference points
  • Flexible system, also suitable for curved tracks
