Feature Summary

The MG232 Magna series is engineered to deliver precision and resilience in the most challenging environments. Designed as a magnetic alternative to optical encoders, it offers the same mounting provisions, making it an ideal retrofit solution without major modifications. Its IP67-rated enclosure ensures complete protection against oil, dust, and coolant, making it suitable for shop floors and heavy-duty machine tools.

Performance is a key strength of the MG232. With resolutions ranging from 0.1 µm to 5 µm, it caters to both high-precision metrology and general machining needs. The encoder supports high-speed operations, achieving up to 10 m/s at 5 µm resolution, ensuring efficiency without compromising accuracy. Its repeat accuracy of ±1 count and an accuracy class of ±10 µm per meter guarantee consistent results across applications.

The MG232 is available in measuring lengths from 120 mm to 3040 mm, providing flexibility for different machine sizes. It operates on a 5 VDC power supply and consumes minimal current, making it energy-efficient. The RS422 output signal ensures compatibility with modern digital readout systems, while reference marks at 30 mm from the start and every 50 mm thereafter simplify setup and calibration.

Built for durability, the MG232 uses armoured cables for added protection, with standard lengths of 3 meters (up to 820 mm scale) and 5 meters (above 820 mm), extendable up to 20 meters. Its operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C and storage range of -20°C to 70°C make it suitable for diverse environments. With a pole pitch of 2 mm and robust construction, the MG232 Magna is a dependable choice for milling, grinding, and profile projector applications.
