IKS9 Incremental Magnetic Sensing Head

The IKS9 is a high-performance incremental magnetic sensing head designed for linear and rotary position measurement. It delivers accurate, reliable feedback for automation, robotics, linear motors, and high-speed motion control. In addition, its compact design makes installation simple, even in space-constrained systems.

The sensing head works with magnetic tapes, rotary-radial rings, and rotary-axial rings. It provides resolution down to 20 nm and measurement accuracy better than 10 µm. As a result, it delivers precise position and speed feedback for demanding applications. It also supports RS422 Line Driver and Push-Pull (TTL) outputs, allowing easy integration with PLCs, servo drives, and motion controllers.

The IKS9 supports travel speeds up to 100 m/s and offers an almost unlimited measuring length. Furthermore, engineers can adjust parameters such as resolution, counting direction, and output frequency to meet specific application requirements. A built-in reference signal and optional distance-coded reference marks provide additional flexibility for positioning systems.

Its IP67-rated housing protects the sensing head from dust, moisture, vibration, and temperature changes. Therefore, the IKS9 performs reliably in harsh industrial environments. It is an excellent choice for robotics, factory automation, medical technology, linear motors, printing equipment, and precision motion control systems that require fast, accurate, and non-contact position measurement.
