Technical <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

The magnetic tape is the carrier of the <strong>in</strong>cremental and absolute encoded position <strong>in</strong>formation.<br />

Magnetic tape<br />

It is primarily made up of a bonded ferrite material where the datum position is coded.<br />

Dur<strong>in</strong>g the encod<strong>in</strong>g process, the sensitive material is magnetized to obta<strong>in</strong> either a systematic<br />

sequence of North-South poles with alternat<strong>in</strong>g magnetic field hav<strong>in</strong>g the same pole<br />

pitch dimension (<strong>in</strong>cremental version) or a coded sequence of North-South poles generat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

an absolute pattern (absolute version).<br />

Sometimes the absolute encoders are paired with a double-track magnetic tape encompass<strong>in</strong>g<br />

both the absolute pattern and an <strong>in</strong>cremental poles track for speed feedback.<br />

The bonded ferrite layer is mounted on a ferromagnetic sta<strong>in</strong>less steel strip <strong>in</strong> order to be<br />

self-support<strong>in</strong>g, have both robustness and flexibility and shield the encoded material from<br />

the magnetic fields that may <strong>in</strong>fluence from the bottom.<br />

A cover strip <strong>in</strong> sta<strong>in</strong>less steel can be supplied on request to be stuck on the sensitive surface<br />

and protect it from scratch<strong>in</strong>g and contam<strong>in</strong>ants (see the magnetic tape's order code).<br />

The tape can be easily applied/removed via a self-adhesive back<strong>in</strong>g (l<strong>in</strong>er) pre-applied<br />

under the sta<strong>in</strong>less steel strip. The tape is <strong>in</strong>sensitive to light, dust, f<strong>in</strong>gerpr<strong>in</strong>ts, moisture,<br />

oil, grease, water, many chemical agents; thus it can be mounted <strong>in</strong> the most aggressive<br />

<strong>in</strong>dustrial environments.<br />

In specific encoders that require the sens<strong>in</strong>g head to be guided by a track profile (see the<br />

SMIG and SMAG series), the magnetic tape is <strong>in</strong>serted <strong>in</strong> an alum<strong>in</strong>ium track section. On<br />

demand the measurement tape can be protected us<strong>in</strong>g an alum<strong>in</strong>ium profile (order code<br />

PS1-x). Furthermore it can be fitted with plastic term<strong>in</strong>als to protect the ends and prevent<br />

them from peel<strong>in</strong>g off (order codes KIT LKM-1439 and KIT LKM-1440).<br />

For availability and additional <strong>in</strong>formation see the section “Accessories” on page 119.<br />

For specific applications Lika Electronic is able to provide <strong>in</strong>cremental modular encoders for<br />

toothed-wheels and racks. In such measurement systems a ferromagnetic toothed structure<br />

is used as a passive measurement scape <strong>in</strong>stead of the active measurement tape with<br />

magnetized poles described above. For more <strong>in</strong>formation about such applications see on<br />

page 23.<br />
