Nuicon

Linear Magnetic Encoders | Non-Contact Positioning System

Optical scales are fragile; one scratch or dust particle and they fail. Nuicon Linear Magnetic Encoders are built for the messy reality of production. Consisting of a self-adhesive magnetic tape and a non-contact sensor head, this system delivers micron-level precision that is completely immune to dust, oil, humidity, and vibration. It is the perfect retrofit for cutting machines and CNCs where durability is non-negotiable.

Why Choose Nuicon?

Custom Lengths

We stock master rolls in Bengaluru and can cut to your exact requirement .

Protective Covers

We supply the stainless steel cover strips that prevent the tape from peeling.

Digital Readouts

We offer compatible display units for a complete standalone solution.

Gap Guides

We provide installation shims to ensure the sensor gap is perfect.

Key Features

  • Dirt Immune: Magnetic fields pass right through oil, grease, water, and wood dust. The sensor reads position perfectly even if the tape is covered in grime.
  • Cut-to-Length: The magnetic tape comes in rolls (up to 100m). Simply cut it to the exact length of your machine bed—no custom ordering required.
  • Wear-Free: The sensor head hovers over the tape (gap ~1mm) without touching it. No friction, no mechanical wear, and infinite service life.
  • Easy Install: The stainless steel carrier tape has a strong adhesive backing. Just peel, stick, and mount the protection cover.

Technical Specifications

  • Resolution: Up to 1 µm (0.001 mm)
  • Max Speed: Up to 25 m/s
  • Output: Incremental (A/B/Z) or Absolute (SSI / BiSS)
  • Gap Tolerance: 0.1 … 2.0 mm (Model dependent)
  • Protection: IP67 (Sensor Head)
  • Tape Length: Unlimited (Standard rolls 50m/100m)

Real-World Applications

  • Woodworking Machinery: Unaffected by sawdust clouds that blind optical glass scales.
  • Stone Cutting Saws: Works reliably even under constant water spray and stone sludge.
  • Metal Cutting Shears: withstands the heavy shock and vibration of guillotine shears.
  • CNC Retrofits: The easiest way to add digital readout (DRO) accuracy to old manual lathes and mills.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Yes! The magnetic tape is flexible and steel-backed. You can cut it with standard heavy-duty shears.

 A strong external magnet (like a welding clamp) placed directly on the tape can erase the code. Standard machine magnetism is usually not an issue.

Incremental needs a “homing” run after power loss. Absolute knows exactly where it is immediately upon startup.
