±1.5 µm for lengths up to 1 m
±2.25 µm for lengths from 1 m to 2 m
±3 µm for lengths from 2 m to 3 m
±4 µm for lengths from 3 m to 5 m
(includes slope and linearity)
Calibration traceable to International Standards
Supplied lengths
20 mm to 5 m (available in increments of 10 mm)

Hardened martensitic stainless steel
Coefficient of thermal expansion
(at 20 °C)
10.1 ±2 µm/m/°C
Mounting
Epoxy datum point and adhesive tape (nominal thickness
0.2 mm) or datum clamp and mounting clips
Mass
172 g/m
Storage
Lengths over 1.13 m are coiled (> 600 mm diameter)
Reference mark
Limit switches
Type
IN-TRAC
auto-phase optional reference mark, no physical adjustments required
Position
RSLM20
Midpoint of scale length
RSLE20
(Option A) – 20 mm from end of scale (for use with 10 mm limits)
RSLE20
(Option B) – 70 mm from end of scale (for use with 20 mm and
50 mm limits)
RSLC20
Selectable reference marks every 200 mm
Phasing
Auto-phased by readhead calibration routine
Repeatability
Repeatability to unit of resolution throughout specified temperature range
Type
Magnetic actuators; with dimple triggers Q limit, without dimple triggers P limit
(‘VIONiC readhead installation drawing’, page 4)
Trigger point
The limit output is nominally asserted when the readhead limit switch sensor passes
the limit magnet leading edge, but can trigger up to 3 mm before that edge
Mounting
Customer placed at desired locations
Repeatablity
< 0.1 mm
