AB20 - Absolute magnetic tape

The Magnetic tape consists of 3 components: 

A The magnetized, highly flexible plastic tape, connected on the lower side with.

B Magnetic conductable and flexible stainless steel tape. It protects the plastic tape from mechanical damages and is a magnetic short circuit at the same time.This increases significantly the functional security under extreme magnetic influences. In standard both parts A and B are already factory-bonded (by ELGO).

C To keep the flexibility for transport and installation, the third part a stainless, magnetic permeable steel tape is delivered separately. It serves for mechanical protection of the plastic tape, is already equipped with a sticky tape and must be bonded on the magnetic plastic tape after installation.

Influence of external magnets:

External magnetic fields must not exceed 64 mT (640 Oe; 52kA/m) at the surface of the magnetic tape. Higher values will damage or destroy the magnetic tape code.
Magnetic fields > 1 mT at the measuring system has negative influences on the accuracy of the system.
