1 PositionLine Position indicators, control knobs and handwheels PositionLine SIKO is the inventor of the SIKO counter and the leading manufacturer in the mechanical-digital position indicator sector. The latest generation of SIKO programmable electronic indicators is a consistent further development of the versatile mechanical-digital position indicators and handwheels and also ensures an outstanding performance in bus-controlled applications. Electronic-digital position indicators provide flexible, electronic capture of measured values and semi-automatic adjustment control at spindels....

Mechanical-digital position indicators permit reliable numeric measured data indication and clear positioning of adjustment spindles. are handy adjustment units with an integrated measurement system for variable mounting situations. Mechanical-analogue position indicators and handwheels measure rotations via high-resolution analogue displays. Benefits: Low-cost, robust measurement system ■ Easy hollow-shaft mounting ■ Clear, precise digital display values thanks to integrated counter ■ Individual gear ratios and displays Specifications Hollow shafts 0 6 ... 35 mm Metric or inch unit...

2 RotoLine Rotary encoders and geared potentiometers RotoLine SIKO has combined the “rotary encoder” family under the joint brand name RotoLine. The comprehensive product knowhow permits a versatile range of types that extends from inexpensive incremental rotary encoders of very varied design through to high-resolution absolute rotary encoders with fieldbus interfaces of industrial design or in robust heavy-duty housings. Absolute rotary encoders register all motion precisely and absolutely. Motion is also detected and recorded in a de-energised state. They are therefore the first choice...

Incremental rotary encoders Geared potentiometers Electronic displays are the simplest and most inexpensive solutions for measuring speeds, positions and angles. Benefits: Optical and magnetic incremental rotary encoders High shock, vibration and temperature resistance Insensible e.g. to oils, lubricants, dirt, and water Wear- and maintenance-free sensor unit Universally usable: various hollow and solid shaft versions Compact design owing to highly integrated sensor unit High speeds up to 12000 rpm are well known for their robust analogue technology. Measured values are recorded absolutely,...

LinearLine New technologies for discerning demands in the linear metrology sector. The result of decades of experience, the compact SIKO wire-actuated encoders are a reliable and easy to install option for linear position measurement. The possible range of applications is very wide, even under difficult ambient conditions. Benefits: Temperature range up to -40 °C ■ Robust and durable, even in wet, dirty conditions ■ Easy wire run-out installation ■ Flexible system integration of any output signals and interfaces ■ Optional, enhanced safety due to a redundant sensor...

Don’t compromise on safety: Redundant sensor units of our special wire-actuated encoders ensure double safety for persons and processes! Reliable acquisition of the position of the outriggers and the cantilever for supporting maximum load torque limitation with wire-actuated encoders. Redundant design up to Performance Level PLd as an option. Exact positioning of the operating table for fully-automatic adjustment with wire-actuated encoders requires maximum reliability and a compact design. Robust and compact wire-actuated encoders for height adjustment and side positioning of the lifting...
