RSF Electronik MSA 37x Feedback Encoder System Designed for Motion Applications
RSF Elektronik now offers a linear motion feedback encoder system that is designed for machines with loose mechanical motion during operation. Called the MSA 37x series, these encoders are designed for motion applications such as press brake and metal forming/bending machines, or any other type of machine that have significant flexure near the area requiring motion feedback.Available in North America through Heidenhain Corporation, the MSA 37x series has a design that includes a bearing set internally for guiding the scanning optics, and a bearing set externally for the attachment of a coupling rod that affixes to the machine, thereby allowing for measurement of the moving elements of the machine.
Power Transmission Engineering is THE magazine of mechanical components. PTE is written for engineers and maintenance pros who specify, purchase and use gears, gear drives, bearings, motors, couplings, clutches, lubrication, seals and all other types of mechanical power transmission and motion control components.
