Sick Linear Measuring Linear Measuring Encoder / 2230998

OverviewThe POMUX KH53 non-contact linear encoder can measure absolute lengths up to 1,700 m. The encoder consists of two main components: The non-contact read head determines the absolute position using a series of measuring elements attached along the measurement path. Each measuring element consists of a number of permanent magnets. Since the distances between the magnets are unique, they can be used to develop an absolute measuring code. No reference run is required due to the absolute position being determined. The read head is passed parallel to these measuring elements at a distance of 25 mm or 55 mm. With a measuring length of up to 1,700 m, the KH53 is ideal for use in cranes, in storage and conveyor systems, and for railed vehicles. Due to the non-contact technology, this system works wear-free even in harsh ambient conditions, so that a long lifetime is ensured.At a glanceNon-contact length measurement – maintenance-free, rugged, long service life High reproducibility (0.3 mm / 1 mm), high system resolution (0.1 mm) SSI and PROFIBUS interfaces Determination of absolute position Measuring lengths of up to 1,700 m possible Can be used in harshest ambient conditions High traversing speeds of up to 6.6 m/s Distance tolerance between read head and measuring element: up to 55 mm ± 20 mm possibleYour BenefitsAfter installation, the system is immediately available and completely maintenance-free, which leads to time and cost savings Reliable determination of position under harshest ambient conditions such as the effects of dirt, dust, fog, shock, and vibration High efficiency and productivity Time savings – no reference run necessary on initial commissioning due to absolute position measurement Accurate positioning even with high mounting tolerancesApplicationsDetection of the crane position Position determination of trolleys Detecting the trolley position and determining the height position of the spreader Position detection of goods trains for loading and unloading Position determination of a crane Position determination at lock gates Distance monitoring when retracting or rolling out stadium lawns Positioning stadium roofs Positioning outdoor overhead traveling cranes Positioning the trolley Positioning the stacker Industrial crane positioning in waste bunkers Positioning of outdoor cranes Overhead crane trolley positioning Positioning of rail-mounted shuttles during the material handling process Movement and position control of internal machine parts Ladle car position at ladle furnace during secondary metallurgy Detection of the crane position Position detection of a crane gantryNoteProduct details cover the whole product family.
