Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the FlexIN magnetic scale system developed by RLS d.o.o., designed for large diameter installations ranging from 350 mm to 2,500 mm. It is suitable for applications requiring full circle measurement and high reliability in demanding environments.
Specifications: The FlexIN system supports a maximum rotational speed of 210 rpm at 1 m and accommodates a large diameter tolerance of ±0.2 mm. It operates within a temperature range of –20 °C to +85 °C and compensates for substrate thermal expansion.
Features: The system includes a rubber-supported scale with a built-in tensioning mechanism, compatible with LM10 or LM15 incremental encoders. It offers non-contact measurement, wide installation tolerances, and industry-standard output types with a reference pulse for relative positioning.
Key Specifications:
  • Substrate diameter: 350 mm to 2,500 mm
  • Accuracy at 1 m diameter: < ±0.02° for LM10, < ±0.035° for LM15
  • Resolution: Up to 13 bits per pole
  • Hysteresis: < 3 µm at 0.3 mm ride height for LM10, < 12.5 µm at 1 mm ride height for LM15
  • Operating temperature: –20 °C to +85 °C
  • Installation tolerances: Lateral offset ±1 mm (no reference), ±0.7 mm (magnetised reference)
Applications: The FlexIN system is suitable for use in radio telescopes, solar panels, wind turbines, and CT scanning, particularly in harsh environments.
Installation and Dimensions: The document provides detailed dimensions and tolerances for installation, including ride height adjustments and reference mark positioning. The system includes components such as a rubber spring profile, stainless steel carrier, magnetic layer, connecting element, and fastener.
Disclaimer: RLS d.o.o. has made efforts to ensure the accuracy of the document but excludes liability for any inaccuracies.

FlexINTM-1

FlexINTM Magnetic Scale System for Large Diameters WIDE INSTALLATION TOLERANCES FlexIN is a rubber-supported magnetic scale system with built-in tensioning mechanism compatible with LM10 or LM15 incremental encoders. It is designed for installation onto large shafts as an element of the position and speed control loop. The compact readhead has wide installation tolerances and offers industry standard output types and a reference pulse for relative position. The non-contact measuring principle ensures high reliability in demanding applications. G N I M CO ON SO Why choose FlexIN?
