Balluff Adds to Magnetic Encoder Line with
New Interface & Monitoring Capabilities

Balluff has added several versions to its line of magnetic encoder
systems that offer enhancements for smart sensor requirements
and condition monitoring, also plug-and-play interface capabilities with Siemens equipment. They join a robust family of
absolute magnetic encoders from the company that are designed
to deliver absolute accuracy of position when end-of-travel is
required

Bunting-Elk Grove Village announced that they have recently
added new N42 and Electro Magnet products.
The new stock of plated N42 neodymium disc magnets expands
options in selecting the perfect neodymium magnet for any application. Neodymium magnets are a member of the rare earth
family, and they are the most powerful magnets in the world.
There are a number of available options for coatings, with nickel
being the most common and most preferred. Neodymium magnets are powerful, versatile, and can be used in a wide variety of
applications.

The models that enable condition monitoring meet IO-Link's
smart sensor profile 2.0 specifications, adding four switching
signal channels to the process data. Each channel uses IO-Link
to program an on and off point for the encoder, which allows
measurements to be limited to set ranges or windows. Position,
switchpoint and status data also available with absolute measuring functionality. An enhanced version of the encoder adds
condition monitoring functions to report signal quality and a low
signal threshold to alert when maintenance may be needed.

The newly added stock of round electromagnets provide an efficient and economical solution for handling and holding ferrous
materials and parts safely and securely. They are available in
a number of shapes and sizes, and can be used in a variety of
manual and automated applications. They require little maintenance, and are 100% duty cycle.
BuyMagnets.com also offers rectangular flat faced electromagnets, which are ideal for achieving maximum holding force on
flat, smooth, dry, unpainted surfaces. They are ideal for surfaces
where the entire face of the magnet comes in direct contact with
the product being handled. Flat faced electromagnets are designed with a center magnetic pole and utilize the outer case as
the opposite pole, and they concentrate the magnetic force at the
center of the magnet in order to achieve superior holding power.

"The additional capabilities of these advanced encoder systems
make them unique to the market and provide high value to users in a wide range of industries. There's nothing else like it on
the market," said Scott Rosenberger, Balluff technical support
engineer. Developed for measuring and positioning applications,
the encoders provide absolute measurement by traveling above
a magnetically coded strip that can be up to 8 meters long, with a
