Magnetic sensor MSA213C

Absolute high-resolution, numerous interfaces, very small design

High-resolution encoder MSA213C for drive technology
 
The demands on sensors for position detection in automation and drive technology increase with the complexity and performance of the associated machines and systems. The new MSA213C high-resolution absolute sensor from SIKO provides a perfect solution for this. It not only supplies the absolute position at any time without referencing and without requiring a backup battery, but thanks to its small design and many different interfaces, it can also be integrated into the system and control environment with very little effort
 
Target applications
With its high signal quality and small dimensions, the MSA213C is ideal for use in handling and assembly automation, in machining systems, pick-and-place applications or PCB machining. The MSA213C is also predestined for precise position detection and speed measurement in linear direct drives.
 
Absolutely high resolution
The magnetic absolute linear encoder impresses with its high absolute resolution of 1 µm, which ensures precise position detection at all times. The absolute measurement is indispensable above all in safety-relevant applications when a position change must be reliably detected even in the currentless state.
The achieved repeatability of ±1 μm enables reliable use in multi-axis applications and positioning systems, in which precise control or recognition of positions is required. This performance level is achieved over a length of up to 16 meters.
 
Numerous interfaces
The MSA213C is available with many different absolute interfaces, so that it can easily be integrated into the application by the customer. Even in the basic versions with SSI and BiSS-C, the sensor is also available with IO-Link and supports protocols from various control unit manufacturers. In addition, an incremental interface is available in parallel as a digital line driver or analog 1 Vpp signal output. With this combination, absolute path information is provided at all times and exact commutation is also possible in dynamic operation.
A function and status LED is included in the housing for installation and operation purposes.
 
Very small design
The small, compact design of the sensor, which allows easy integration into the target system, also deserves to be highlighted. In addition to the small space requirement, the large reading distance of up to 0.8 mm also supports the user in integrating the sensor into the geometry and the existing installation space of the system.  The small size of the sensor is also remarkable in light of its long measuring range of 16 meters, resulting in a wide variety of possible applications.
