Offering flexibility for automotive applications, the DAX linear encoder product family can be used to precisely detect piston positions in hydraulic cylinders. Aside from detecting these positions, the product family monitors linear movements within machines.
To be suitable for each of these applications, the encoder provides three designs, each of which have measuring ranges designed specifically for the applications they’re used for.
To determine which design is the most ideal, an Online Configurator offers step-by-step assistance. Operations can order a tailored linear encoder, developed according to their unique requirements
Linear encoders from the DAX® product family are well-suited for determining the absolute position of piston rods in hydraulic cylinders as well as linear movements in industrial plants. Thanks to the use of magnetostrictive technology, the encoder is completely wear- and maintenance-free. Individual configuration options ensure customized integration in nearly any application. Thanks to the flexible system architecture, the DAX® linear encoder enables properties such as backwards compatibility with manufacturer-specific position magnets. Other intelligent functions for condition monitoring allow for predictive maintenance, for example, and create transparency about the current machine condition. This minimizes unplanned downtime and increases efficiency.
