Balluff BML absolute magnetic encoder

Tuesday, 30 March, 2021 | Supplied by: Balluff Pty Ltd


The BML absolute magnetic encoder in the SGA series is suitable for applications where high absolute accuracy of position and end-of-travel is required. The linear measuring system is suitable for both long measuring lengths up to 48 m as well as for applications which require high precision.

Diagnostics functions are designed to ensure reliable operation and efficient maintenance. With its Drive-Cliq interface, the Balluff measuring system can also be integrated into Siemens controller environments, and Siemens has certified the system allowing for plug-and-play installation: the controller automatically detects the sensor and its basic settings. The sensor also offers flexibility, since leaving and reengaging with the tape is permissible.

Since the system works magnetically, it is also insensitive to temperature change, dirt (such as from dust and oil) or wear. The read distance of 1.3 mm makes installation easier, and in practical operation continuous plausibility checking ensures high reliability since the system consistently checks the measurement quality.

Automatic condition monitoring checks the signal quality and, using the controller, the user can evaluate the function reserve.

The BML absolute encooder offers an accuracy of up to ±12 µm and a resolution of 1 µm and is also to retrofit.
