Balluff Magnetic encoders

Balluff Magnetic encoders

Highly precise, robust and rapid-working encoders

High-precision fast measuring systems with magnetic encoders enable precise positioning in extremely dynamic applications.

Their robust construction allows their use in extreme environments.

The most important benefits

  • Contact-free and therefore wear-free
  • Incremental or absolute interfaces
  • High resolution to 1µm
  • Measurement lengths of up to 48 m
  • Flexible installation
  • Long service life

Product families

Absolute magnetic encoder (for linear applications)

Dynamic and precise positioning with high repeatability

The BML ab­solute po­si­tion mea­sure­ment sys­tems from Bal­luff trans­fer the cur­rent po­si­tion im­me­di­ately and with­out a ref­er­ence run. Even fol­low­ing a loss of sup­ply volt­age and restart­ing the sys­tem.

The fea­tures

  • Op­ti­mum ma­chine per­for­mance via quick and pre­cise mea­sured value de­ter­mi­na­tion with high re­peata­bil­ity
  • High sys­tem avail­abil­ity thanks to durably sta­ble mag­netic tape with Per­mag­net® Tech­nol­ogy
  • Long op­er­a­tional life through its ro­bust metal hous­ing
  • Sim­ple, quick in­stal­la­tion with cal­i­bra­tion soft­ware
The BML absolute magnetic encoders provide for dynamic and precise positioning in semi-conductor assembly.

Absolute magnetic encoders (for rotational applications)

Highly precise positional feedback

Absolute rotational magnetic encoders

Regardless of whether they are highly integrated in the motor or on large diameters, the BML absolute position measurement systems from Balluff provide absolute position feedback – in every position, immediately and without a reference run.

The features

  • Highly precise and accurate: Saves energy as a result
  • Long-term-stable measurement body with Permagnet® technology: For high installation availability
  • Long operational life through its robust metal housing
  • Simple, quick installation with calibration software
Absolute magnetic encoders for rotational applications
BML absolute motor feedback systems are highly precise, extremely compact and easy to integrate in motor.

Incremental magnetic encoder (for linear applications)

Precise and flexible – wide range of applications

Incremental linear magnetic encoders

The BML in­cre­men­tal po­si­tion mea­sure­ment sys­tems from Bal­luff can be used flex­i­bly and are avail­able as a cost-ef­fec­tive op­tion for al­most any mea­sure­ment length. Thanks to stan­dard­ised dig­i­tal and ana­logue in­ter­faces, they can be in­te­grated into al­most any con­trol sys­tem.

The fea­tures

  • High ma­chine per­for­mance via quick and pre­cise mea­sured value de­ter­mi­na­tion with high re­peata­bil­ity
  • Long-term-sta­ble mag­netic tape with Per­mag­net® tech­nol­ogy: For high in­stal­la­tion avail­abil­ity
  • Long op­er­a­tional life through its ro­bust metal or plas­tic hous­ing
Incremental linear magnetic encoders
In energy generation, the drinks industry and many other sectors, BML incremental position measuring systems ensure precise positioning.

Incremental magnetic encoder (for rotational applications)

To precisely position and check the speed of rotary axes and shafts

Incremental rotating magnetic encoders

The BML in­cre­men­tal po­si­tion mea­sure­ment sys­tems from Bal­luff can be used flex­i­bly and are avail­able as a cost-ef­fec­tive op­tion for al­most every shaft di­am­e­ter. Thanks to stan­dard­ised dig­i­tal and ana­logue in­ter­faces, they can be in­te­grated into al­most any con­trol sys­tem.

The fea­tures

  • Flex­i­ble use of mea­sure­ment bod­ies in a cir­cle seg­ment: For lower process and stor­age costs
  • Long-term-sta­ble mag­netic tape with Per­mag­net® tech­nol­ogy: For high in­stal­la­tion avail­abil­ity
  • Long op­er­a­tional life through its ro­bust metal or plas­tic hous­ing
  • Ideal for in­te­gra­tion: Saves space as a re­sult
