Elgo GMIX2 incremental magnetic length sensor

Click2Contact

The Elgo GMIX2 incremental sensor can be installed at a distance of up to 4 mm from the magnetic tape.

The measuring system features a resolution of 2.5 mm (4 edge-triggered), a repeating accuracy of ±2.5 mm and a maximum operation speed of 10 m/s (output frequency 4 kHz), making it suitable for applications in storage or conveying for longer distances.

Due to the wear-free measuring principle (by magnetic scanning) and high protection class of IP67, the sensor works well in rough environments always uninfluenced and reliably.

The compact sensor offers an integrated translator circuit, which converts the detected signals into square wave signals A and B with a 90° phase shift (similar to the output signals of rotary encoders). This allows GMIX2 to be connected directly to follow-up circuits, such as position indicators.
