LinkCompact Open Core Scale System for High-Precision Position Detection in Rolling Mills and Industrial Machinery
The Magnescale SR721-SP Series is a modular, high-precision open core scale system designed for demanding industrial applications, including rolling mills, metal processing, and automated machinery. This system combines a non-contact detection head with a rod-type magnetic scale, delivering reliable position feedback even in harsh environments.
At the heart of the SR721-SP system is the HA-721SP reader head, which operates without mechanical restraint, allowing for smooth, frictionless motion detection. It pairs with the MSS-975R or MSS-977R rod scale, available in a wide range of measuring lengths from 150 mm to 750 mm, to suit various installation requirements.
