MAX3 Compact Absolute Measuring System Ideally suited for linear applications in mobile automation

MAX3 is a magnetic absolute length measuring system designed for measuring lengths up to 2450 mm.  A major advantage of the MAX3 is its compact design, which makes it equally suitable for retrofitting as well as new installations in existing machines and vehicles. Available interfaces to the subsequent electronics are CANopen (DS406 encoder profiles) or analog output signals (V or mA). 

  • Absolute encoder with 1 mm resolution
  • Wear-free and contactless
  • Measuring lenghts up to 2450 mm possible
  • With LED for distance control sensor/magnetic tape
  • Interfaces: CANopen (DS406) or analog output
