Introduction
The RGA22 scale applicator is an installation tool used to lay the RGS20-S and RGS40-S
self-adhesive scale to an axis. The applicator utilises the readhead mountings and uses
the motion of the axis to guarantee that the scale is laid parallel to the axis guideway.
Adaptors are supplied that configure the applicator to all the mounting options of the
RGH22 and RGH41 series readheads.
