LinkThe Magnescale SJ700A is a cost-effective, high-performance linear magnetic scale designed for digital readout (DRO) systems. Built with Magnescale’s proven magnetic sensing technology, the SJ700A offers excellent resistance to workshop conditions, making it ideal for retrofitting machine tools and integrating into new CNC systems. Its semi-modular design and integrated detector simplify installation and ensure long-term reliability.
The SJ700A is engineered to perform in harsh industrial settings. Its magnetic detection system is inherently resistant to oil, coolant, dust, and vibration—common challenges in machining environments. With a resolution of 5 μm and measuring lengths ranging from 150 mm to 1,600 mm, the SJ700A delivers consistent, accurate feedback for a wide range of machine tool applications.
Key features
- Magnetic Non-Contact Detection – Reliable performance in oily, dusty, and high-vibration environments.
- 5 μm Resolution – Suitable for general-purpose machining and DRO applications.
- Measuring Lengths – Available from 150 mm to 1,600 mm.
- Semi-Modular Design – Detector integrated into the scale for simplified installation.
- Thermal Compatibility – Same coefficient of expansion as machine tools for stable measurements.
- Cost-Effective – Ideal for retrofitting older machines or equipping new systems.
- Plug-and-Play with Magnescale Counters – Compatible with LG20, LH70 series.
- Durable Construction – Built to withstand workshop conditions.
- Slide Holder Alignment – Ensures secure and accurate positioning.
- Compact Profile – Fits easily into tight machine spaces.
Semi-Modular Design for Easy Integration
This scale features a semi-modular structure with the detector built directly into the scale body. The relative positions of the scale and head are pre-aligned and secured using a slide holder, reducing installation complexity. The SJ700A can be connected directly to Magnescale counters such as the LG20 or LH70 series, enabling fast setup and seamless operation.
Thermal Stability and Mechanical Compatibility
The SJ700A is designed with the same coefficient of thermal expansion as machine tools, ensuring measurement stability even under fluctuating temperatures. This makes it particularly suitable for precision machining environments where thermal drift can affect accuracy.
Ideal for Retrofitting and OEM Applications
Whether you’re upgrading an older machine or designing a new system, the SJ700A offers a robust, economical solution for linear position feedback. Its rugged construction and straightforward installation process make it a favourite among machine builders and maintenance engineers alike.
Applications
- CNC lathes and milling machines
- Manual machine tool retrofits
- Digital readout (DRO) systems
- Metal cutting and forming equipment
- General-purpose industrial automation
