Utilizing reliable Magnetic Technology, NorthStar Linear Encoders provide strong, reliable signals even in the most hostile environments. And the fact that they are Direct Measuring Systems eliminates problems of backlash, slip, screw pitch and other mechanical errors. 

The measuring system consists of a magnetic tape, sensor head and the translator. The flexible magnetic tape allows for angular measurement along curved surfaces and to follow uneven surfaces and radii. Features also include:

Non Contact, wear free measurement system.

Real time signal output.

Ideal for high speed applications.

Resolution between 5 to 1000 microns.

The EMIX Magnetic Linear Encoder from NorthStar Technologies incorporates Magnetoresistive Technology that makes the system immune to dust, dirt or vibration. The EMIX system is a fully self contained, non contact, wear free incremental measuring system that eliminates the problem of backlash, slip, screw pitch and other mechanical errors caused by indirect measuring systems. 

The EMIX system allows for easy mounting and alignment of the sensor and the magnetic tape. And what's more, the sensor can follow the tape at a distance of upto 0.8mm without loss of accuracy! It is ideal for high-speed applications as in: Linear guides and slides; Linear motors; Pick and place units; Handling systems; Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Features also include:

• 10 micron resolution in four-edge counting mode

• Real time signal output with periodic index pulse

• Square wave "encoder" output signal at TTL or HTL

The LMIX Magnetic Linear Encoder from NorthStar is a fully self contained, non contact, wear free incremental measuring system that eliminates the problem of backlash, slip, screw pitch and other mechanical errors caused by indirect measuring systems. The Magnetoresistive technology makes the system more robust and rugged than the conventional optical systems! The LMIX system allows for easy mounting and alignment of the sensor and the magnetic tape. And what's more, the sensor can follow the tape at a distance of up to 2.0mm without loss of accuracy! It is ideal for high-speed applications as in: Linear guides and slides; Linear motors; Pick and place units; Handling systems; Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. Features also include: 25 micron resolution in four-edge counting mode Real time signal output with periodic index pulse Square wave "encoder" output signal at TTL or HTL

The FMAX linear encoder from NorthStar is an absolute measuring system using proven magnetoresistive technology. The magnetoresitive technology not only provides precise and accurate signals but also makes the system resistant to water, dust, oil or vibration. Thus ensuring longer lasting encoders!

In the FMAX three magnetoresistive sensors read corresponding tracks from the magnetic tape and each track is divided in north and south poles. A consistent phase offset, ΔX, exists between each track. The combination of the phase offset and sensor signal produces a unique absolute position. The FMAX also provides:

• Resolution of 10 micron

• Measuring length up to 1000mm

• Easy mounting
