Lika Electronics’ SMA2

SMA2 Absolute Linear Encoder Mixes Reliability, Accuracy

July 27, 2021
Lika Electronics’ SMA2 performs admirably in tough environments.

The SMA2 absolute linear encoder is ideally suited for applications where small size, fine resolution and great accuracy are mandatory, such as linear motors and robotic systems. It is designed to be compact, narrow and yet rugged under the harshest industrial environments. Electronics are fully encapsulated (IP67 protection) with high EMC immunity.

The SMA2 provides high resolution down to 1 µm and high accuracy of ±2 µm/m. It further enables high speed operation up to 10 m/s (32.8 ft per sec.) over a maximum measuring length of 8.1 m (26.57 ft).
