Overview POSIMAG® lin Magnetic Scale Sensors
Contactless. High resolution.
POSIMAG® lin is a contactless, high-resolution measurement system for measurement of lengths of up to 30 meters. POSIMAG® lin sensors are robust, resistant to contamination, and entirely wear-free, making them even suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions.
The Advantages
- Contactless and wear-free
- Resistant to contamination
- Shielded metal housing
- Simple installation and adjustment
- Degree of protection IP67
- Measurement length up to 30,000 mm
POSIMAG® lin sensors are suitable for taking linear position measurements in industrial applications for machine, plant and precision engineering - particularly those calling for a robust, wear-free solution such as handling systems.

Overhead cranes
Handling systems
POSIMAG® lin sensors measure linear positions by means of a high-precision magnetic measurement principle. This involves the sensor head being moved along a measurement scale that is magnetized at regular intervals. This allows the measuring head to determine the position with resolutions of up to 1 micron. The measuring principle is both contactless and wear-free, and different models are available with and without sensor head guidance to suit a wide range of installation conditions.
