LinkThe Magnescale SL110 is a compact, high-precision linear magnetic scale designed for industrial environments where space is limited but accuracy is critical. As part of the Magnescale Digiruler series, the SL110 offers non-contact magnetic detection, ensuring long-term reliability and minimal maintenance. Its slim profile and robust construction make it ideal for integration into a wide range of machinery, from CNC systems to woodworking and metal cutting equipment.
Despite its small footprint, the SL110 delivers impressive performance. It features a resolution of 10 μm and supports response speeds up to 300 m/min, depending on the read head and system configuration. This makes it suitable for high-speed applications where precise position feedback is essential. The magnetic sensing principle ensures consistent accuracy, even in environments with oil, dust, or vibration.
Key features

Resistant to oil, dirt, vibration, and shock. When used with the PL20C read head, the system achieves IP65-equivalent protection—ideal for harsh industrial environments. - High-Speed Performance
Supports maximum response speeds of up to 300 m/min, making it suitable for high-speed machining and automation systems. - 10 μm Resolution
Delivers precise position feedback for applications requiring fine measurement accuracy. - Flexible Length Options
Available in various lengths to suit a wide range of machine sizes and applications. - Cost-Effective and Easy to Install
Designed for quick installation and minimal setup time, reducing downtime and integration costs. - Compatible with Magnescale Ecosystem
Works seamlessly with PL20C, PL25, and PL60 read heads, as well as LH71 counters and MJ100/MJ110 interpolators for enhanced functionality.

Engineered for Harsh Conditions
The SL110 is built to withstand the rigors of industrial use. Its non-contact magnetic detection system is resistant to oil, dirt, shock, and vibration—conditions that typically degrade optical encoders. When paired with the PL20C read head, the system achieves an IP65-equivalent protection rating, making it a reliable choice for demanding workshop environments.
Flexible Integration and Easy Installation
Thanks to its ribbon-type scale design, the SL110 is easy to install on a variety of machines. Its compact form factor allows for integration in tight spaces without compromising performance. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or designing a new machine, the SL110 offers a cost-effective and efficient solution for linear measurement.
Compatible Components for a Complete System
