Electromagnetic Compatibility
For the electrical connection it is essential that the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is guaranteed.
• System and control cabinet must be connected to the same ground potential.
• Use shielded cables. Connect the cabinet side of the cable shield with protective earth (PE).
• Avoid installing in close proximity to power lines.
• The nominal operating voltage (see datasheet) must be observed even if there is a voltage drop along the
supply line!
• Determine the place of installation so that inductive and capacitive interferences cannot affect the sensor.
By adequately routing the cable, interferences can be reduced.
Intended Use
The magnetic position sensing heads AKS17 are highly accurate measuring devices consisting of magnetic
scales and sensing heads capable of non-contact position detection for linear and rotary applications.
Fields of deployment:
• capital equipment,
• automation,
• medical engineering,
• electrical engineering.
A measurement solution consists of a sensing head and a linear or rotary magnetic scale and can be
incorporated into various electronic systems. It can be configured according to the customer‘s specifications.
In combination with a suitable analysis software absolute and relative position and position changes can be
measured. In this way it is possible, for instance, to control machine tools, determine torsional forces or
detect longitudinal expansions.
Function and Properties
The magnetic position sensing heads AKS17 are suitable for non-contact, absolute and incremental position
measuring systems. The measuring function is realized by magnetic scanning.
The system has the following features:
• absolute and incremental encoder
• 21 to 24 bit absolute resolution
• 18 bit incremental resolution
• non-contact, quick position measurement
• single piece unit
• no wear from usage
• resistant to dust, cooling lubricant emulsion, oil, etc.
• different diameters and length offered
• radial, axial or linear reading
