The Magnescale GB-ER (SR138R) is a high-precision linear scale system engineered for demanding industrial environments. Combining Magnescale’s renowned magnetic sensing technology with a compact, rugged design, the GB-ER series delivers exceptional accuracy, reliability, and ease of installation. This system includes the SR138R scale and a pre-adjusted CH04-03C connection cable, ensuring optimal performance right out of the box.

The GB-ER series is built to withstand the harshest workshop conditions. Its magnetic detection system is inherently resistant to oil, dirt, shock, and vibration—making it ideal for CNC machines, lathes, and other precision equipment. With a resolution of 0.5 μm and an accuracy of (5 + 5L/1000) μm, the GB-ER is suitable for high-resolution applications where consistent, repeatable measurements are critical.

Key features

  • Excellent durability against workshop conditions – resistant to oil, dirt, shock and vibration.
  • Compact design for a space-saving installation.
  • Accuracy: Highly accurate (5+5L/1000)μm
  • Resolution: 0.5μm
  • Simple structure should be conducive to long life.
  • Same coefficient of expansion as that of machine tools

Compact Design for Space-Saving Integration

Thanks to its slim profile and integrated reference point, the GB-ER is easy to install in tight spaces without compromising performance. The scale and slider are precisely aligned and secured using a dedicated slider holder, ensuring long-term stability and minimal maintenance. This makes the GB-ER a preferred choice for OEMs and retrofit projects alike

Pre-Calibrated Cable for Plug-and-Play Setup

Each GB-ER unit includes a CH04-03C cable that has been electronically adjusted to match the scale, eliminating the need for manual calibration. This simplifies installation and ensures optimal signal integrity, even in electrically noisy environments.

Wide Range of Measurement Lengths

The GB-ER is available in a broad range of lengths, from 50 mm to 2,200 mm, making it suitable for everything from compact benchtop machines to large-scale industrial systems. The SR138R scale is also available separately in various lengths, offering flexibility for custom configurations.

Applications Across Precision Industries

The GB-ER is ideal for:

  • CNC machining centers
  • Grinding and milling machines
  • Precision inspection systems
  • Coordinate measuring machines (CMMs)
  • Semiconductor and electronics manufacturing

Its high resolution and rugged construction make it a trusted solution in industries where accuracy and reliability are non-negotiable.
