MAX® Linear Encoder

Brand: SICK Canada

The MAX® linear encoder is designed for position measurements in mobile hydraulic applications in hydraulic cylinders and controls hydraulic components of self-driving mobile machines. The magnetostriction technology provides highly reliable, wear- and maintenance-free absolute position detection. The pressure-resistant housing protects the encoder in the hydraulic cylinder from influences during operation, such as fluid temperatures, vibrations, hydraulic oil, electrical and magnetic fields. 

Different sizes offer numerous installation options. MAX30N with 30 mm housing for very small hydraulic cylinders. MAX48N with radial cable entry for space-saving electrical connection. MAX48A with axial cable entry and rugged stainless-steel housing. The diagnostic functions of the MAX® can be used to examine the operating cycles of hydraulic cylinders.

At a glance
  • Measuring range: 50 to 2,500 mm (for MAX48N and MAX48A) or 1,500 (for MAX30N), 1 mm increments, typical resolution 0.1 mm
  • Analog, CANopen, SAE J1939 and PWM interfaces are available
  • Pressure-resistant housing, designed for hydraulic operating pressures of up to 400 bar
  • High operating temperature (electronics) up to +105° C
  • Fluid temperature (hydraulic oil) up to max. +95° C
  • Compact dimensions: 10 mm installation space, 30 mm cushion zone
  • Position magnet does not need a spacer disk
Features
  • Magnetostriction: Reliable, safe and wear-free
  • 100% mechanical and electrically compatible with existing cylinder constructions
  • Save-spacing installation: Better utilization of the piston stroke in tight installation space of the cylinder
  • Extremely stable signal behavior and very good EMC properties: Resistant to extreme electrical influences, such as radiated or coupled faults in the on-board power supply
  • Status monitoring: Monitoring of piston strokes, operating hours and max. oil temperature provides a statement about the cost-optimized operation of the machine
  • Favorable cost-benefit ratio
