Dexter, MI - May 2005 - SIKO Products, Inc. introduces the latest readhead development for linear and rotary applications – the MSK5000. Utilizing a low profile, 5mm wide magnetic band, programmable resolutions to 1 micron direct from the sensor are obtainable. Programmable real-time edge separation along with on-board status LED’s and a ride height run-out of 2mm are also new product enhancements.The SIKO encoder utilizes a magnetic technology, offering large advantages over optical systems. Inherent contamination immunity, much larger alignment tolerances, non-enclosed, extended temperature range and lower costs are just a few of the advantages of the SIKO system. The flexible adhesive-backed magnetic band and small size, low mass sensor are virtually unaffected by external magnetic fields, making them quite suitable for linear servo motor and direct drive rotary applications, to name just a few. About SIKO ProductsSince 1963 SIKO has been manufacturing intelligent measurement solutions. The MSK5000 is the newest addition to their linear and rotary encoder product lines, which includes absolute, quasi-absolute and incremental signal outputs.For more information, visit www.sikoproducts.com.
