February 2015 Newsletter - Featured this month - SMP is the magnetic encoder designed for feedback on linear guideways, carriages, slides, positioning tables and all applications that need the scale to be mounted laterally - IR01 is the underbelt measuring system encompassing a double rubber wheel with integrated incremental encoder and the mounting support in the same package. Easy to install, it tracks displacements more precisely.

SMP encoder for linear guideways
The range of linear magnetic encoders from Lika Electronic is
enriched with the new SMP model today.
This encoder is differentiated from others in the family by
the lateral mounting of the tape.
This makes it unique and especially suitable for instal-
lation in linear guideways, carriages, slides, positioning
tables and all applications that need the tape to be mounted
laterally and the height of the measuring system to be redu-
ced as much as possible.
The tape is narrowed to a height of only 10 mm (0.39”) and
is insensitive to dust, oil, grease, water and most common
chemical agents.
Also the dimensions of the sensing head have been minimi-
zed; the enclosure is very compact and slim yet it preserves
its durability with IP67 protection rate. Thus the measuring
system can reliably operate in aggressive industrial environ-
ments. Furthermore for ease of assembly this encoder ensu-
res very wide mounting tolerances up to 2 mm (0.08”).
SMP allows for resolutions up to 12.5 µm over up to 100 m
(328 ft) travels.
It generates quadrature signals with inverted and Index si-
gnals via Push-Pull (HTL) +10÷30Vdc and Line Driver (TTL)
+5Vdc ±5% output circuits.
SMP encompasses high-flex cables especially suited for use
in cable drag chains, tested for more than one million cycles.
The magnetic tape can be supplied with optional protection
cover strip and tape terminals.

2. All-round wheeled encoder for conveyor systems
IR01 is the underbelt measuring system encompassing a double rubber wheel with
integrated incremental encoder and the mounting support in the same package.
Easy to install, it tracks displacements more precisely.
IR01 is the all-round wheeled encoder from Lika
Electronic that is best suited for accurate length mea-
surements in conveyor systems.
It offers a complete and inexpensive assembly to
easily solve your tasks
in linear displacement
measurements such us
in steel, paper, textile,
wood and packaging
industries.
It encompasses a double
rubber wheel with
integrated incremental
encoder and the moun-
ting support in a single
package. Typically the
wheel is mounted under
the moving material
(such as a conveyor belt,
a reel or a roller).
The support provides a
slotted mounting plate
and a pivoting arm fit-
ted with springs. In this
way it is easy to adjust
the wheel very close to
the belt and load the
springs to always exert
the better pressure.
In addition the arm is able to accommodate the possi-
ble upward downward movements of the belt without
losing constant contact. Also the rubber wheel is
designed to eliminate the sliding risks. Available in
several diameters, the
wheel can be locked in a
fixed position or let free
to move.
The integral encoder
is an incremental type
and provides AB0 signals
with complementary
signals via Push-Pull
(HTL) +10÷30Vdc, Line
Driver (TTL) +5Vdc ±5%
and HTL/TTL compatible
+5÷30Vdc universal
output circuits (digital
version); or sinusoidal
signals via 1Vpp output
circuit.
Resolutions up to 5000
PPR are at customer’s
choice (0.06 mm /
0.0024”).
M12 connector and
cable options are both
offered.
