5 Product Features
The length measuring system LMIX22 bases on the proven LMIX encoder system. The system extends the existing
LMIX product series and offers two considerable advantages:
 The resolution can be freely selected (  0)
 The sensor is also available with a unique reference pulse (  5.1 resp.  5.2)
Overview of features:
 Distance between sensor / magnetic tape up to 2.0 mm
 Differential HTL or TTL Line Driver Outputs
 Various resolution with 4 edge triggering available (order designation)
 Repeat ac/- 1 increment

Small sensor with integrated evaluation electronic (translator)

Speed proportional output of square-wave signals

Periodic index pulse every 5 millimeters (standard version) or
optional reference pulse output (versions 007 and 027) available
Despite the small dimensions the evaluation electronic (translator) is integrated in the sensor head. Optionally, a
vertically mountable LMIX22 variant is available. This must be specified as option “L” with the order (

12.1).
Please note the following when ordering option “L”:
The position of the internal sensor board is displaced by 90°. So a horizontal mounting, respectively sensing is
no longer possible!
Further information about the mounting positions:

Standard: horizontal installation (

7.3.2.1)

Option L: vertical installation (

7.3.2.2)
5.1 Version LMIX22-007
Instead of a periodical index pulse (channels Z / Z‘), a single reference pulse (channels R / R‘) occurs at the
position where the magnet angle MW-007 (accessorial part

12.5) is installed. For more information refer to
sections

7.4 and

8.2.
5.2 Version LMIX22-027
Instead of a periodical index pulse (channels Z / Z‘), a single reference pulse (channels R / R‘) occurs at a de-
sired position of the magnetic tape (

8.3). In this case, a dual track magnetic tape (type MB20-50-10-2) must
be used. The desired reference pulse position can be ordered by using the type designation of the magnetic
tape (

12.3). See also example
