SICK Linear encoders MAX

The MAX® linear encoder is designed for position measurements in mobile hydraulic applications in hydraulic cylinders and controls hydraulic components of self-driving mobile machines. The magnetostriction technology provides highly reliable, wear- and maintenance-free absolute position detection. The pressure-resistant housing protects the encoder in the hydraulic cylinder from influences during operation, such as fluid temperatures, vibrations, hydraulic oil, electrical and magnetic fields.

Different sizes offer numerous installation options:

MAX30N with a 30 mm housing for very small hydraulic cylinders.

MAX48N with radial cable entry for space-saving electrical connection.

MAX48A with axial cable entry and rugged stainless-steel housing.

The diagnostic functions of the MAX® can be used to examine the operating cycles of hydraulic cylinders.
