FlexAB is a rubber-supported magnetic scale system with built-in tensioning mechanism compatible with Artos absolute rotary readheads. It is designed for installation on large shafts as an element of the position and speed control loop. The compact readhead has wide installation tolerances and offers industry-standard output types (SSI or BiSS) and parallel ABZ incremental signals for highly dynamic applications. The non-contact measuring principle ensures high reliability in demanding applications.
