General Information
- for the measuring of length up to 2000 mm (special length on request)
- resolution due to edge evaluation 0.1 mm or 0.01 mm
- with reference mark
- protection class IP 66
- corrosion and abraison resistant hard chrome-plated measuring rod
- easy adjustment and mounting
- dirt scraper on sensor housing
- encapsulated measuring system
- operating temperature range -20°C ... + 85°C
- maintenance free
Design and Function
The linear measuring scales consists of a hard chrome-plated steel rod and an enclosed plastic measuring head made from durethan bkv 30h6011. They differ in the obtainable resolution of 0.1 mm for the GEL 220 and 0.01 mm for the GEL 221. The distance is measured through the housing wall, the measuring system operating with semiconductors which are controlled by magnetic fields.
Signal pattern VN
Two tracks with square-wave signals offset by 90°. On the third track N (option) a reference signal with defined length is output.
Signal pattern T, TN, U, UN, X, XN
Both tracks and the reference signal (option) are additionally output as inverse signals.

Mounting instructions
- Mount the measuring head as shown in the dimensioned drawing. The reference signal may either be on the right or on the left side. Since the measuring sensor is symmetric, it can be inserted either from the right or from the left side.
- If the enclosed trailing plate is used, any deviations which might occur in parallelism between the linear measuring scale and the machine can be compensated.
- If the measuring head is connected to the machine by means of a mounting bracket, you should make sure that there is no bracing between the mounting bracket and the mounting point.
- Should you need a special measuring length, the rod can be shortened by cutting it off at the unmarked end.
Caution
Avoid concentrated loads and strong impacts on the rod.
Maximum cable length
Between Linear Scale and following electronics. Cable screen
should be earthed at receiver end only. All indicated values
are guidelines with respect to cable type LiYCY 6 x 0.25 mm2.
