Magnetic sensor MSA213K

high-resolution absolute, numerous interfaces, swivel-mounted plug

SIKO Global, Magnetic sensor MSA213K

SIKO Global, Magnetic sensor MSA213K
The absolute encoder MSA213K convinces with its high absolute resolution of 1 µm for precise position detection and a high reading distance of up to 0.8 mm at the same time. With the absolutely coded magnetic tape MBA213, measurements over a length of up to 16 meters are possible. Different absolute interfaces are available for integration into the control environment, which can be supplemented by incremental (LD) or analog (1 Vss) signal outputs for rapid regulation. The swivel-mounted M12 plug enables easy integration into the application on the customer side. The MSA213K is compatible with the MSA111C and can be used as an alternative with a higher reading distance and a longer absolute travel distance.
  • High absolute resolution 1 μm
  • Repeat accuracy max. ±1 μm
  • Reading distance ≤0.8 mm
  • Measuring range 0 … 16 m
  • Function and status display LED
  • Interface BiSS C, SSI, IO-Link
  • Optionally analog Sin/Cos 1 Vss or digital line driver
  • Connection technology M12 (A-coded), swivel-mounted
  • Industry 4.0 ready

Industry 4.0

In most cases, data exchange with the magnetic encoders is limited to the exchange of process data. In addition to the process data, intelligent drives provide additional information that can be evaluated for condition monitoring up to predictive maintenance:
