Product characteristics

Magnetic encoder system

AL8200 is used as feedback system for AL8000 linear motors. The installed Hall sensors measure the magnetic field of the magnetic track, so that no additional measuring element needs to be mounted parallel to the magnetic track.

Part-absolute positioning

The alternating magnetic field of the magnetic track generates a sine-cosine waveform. Part-absolute positioning is thus possible within one signal period. This means that a commutation determination only has to be carried out once during initial commissioning. The encoder signals can be used for commutation, speed and position control.
Absolute positioning is not possible with the AL8200.

Analog output signal

The position is forwarded by the AL8200 as an analog SinCos signal to the servo drive. The servo drive must be suitable for reading analog linear feedback systems, such as AX5000.

Accessories for AL8000

AL8200 can only be used as an accessory for the AL8000 linear motors. The installed Hall sensors are adapted to the pole pair distance (24 mm) of the AL8000.

Dust-protected IP64 housing

The MES is fully potted and IP64 protected, making the product dustproof and suitable for temporary submersion.
