RSF Series MS6x Open Type Glass Scale

Encoder type: Non contact optical, glass scale, open type. Open scale linear encoders are used primarily where environmental conditions are clean, dry and free of oils. Due to the fragile nature of the encoder scale, extra care should be taken to prevent physical damage from impact or abrasion.

Mechanical design: Glass scale, optical scanning unit, high flex twisted shielded cable. Encoder is adhered to stage surface with a two part, releasable bonding agent. (DO NOT attempt to remove the scale from the stage surface, for this will permanently damage the encoder scale. Contact Baldor or an authorized distributor for assistance)

Maintenance: The encoder scale can be cleaned with alcohol. Avoid chemicals such as acetone, MEK, and other solvents and soaps that can damage the scale or leave a film. The encoder optical scanning unit should be treated with great care as not to scratch or mar the external read head surface. If cleaning is required, the encoder read head surface can be cleaned with alcohol. (Avoid submersion). Using a cotton swab, lightly wipe clean the contaminated surfaces. If removal of the encoder optical read head is required, consult with Baldor or an authorized distributor.

*Scaling is a calibration technique used to determine and communicate linear encoder and positioning stage mechanical characteristics, (accuracy and resolution) to the motion controller.

Note: Max speed is determined by the encoder resolution, the controller’s band width and the mechanical limitations of the positioning stage. Should you need assistance in calculating the maximum speed for the positioning stage, please consult with Baldor.
