New Compact Magnetic Discs from Balluff Offer Simple Integration

Small Form Factor Delivers High Precision for Tight Spaces

Balluff's new magnetic discs for use with absolute rotary magnetic encoders deliver high precision in an incredibly small form factor. That allows for use in tight spaces. They offer reliable, non-contact and wear free measuring.


Balluff offers a diverse portfolio of standardized flat and hub-shaped discs to match a variety of configurations. Inside diameters as small as 3 mm and up to 70 mm are available. Mechanical modifications can be created to meet specific application requirements.

Whether used with a complete system with sensor and electronics or integrated into a company's electronics with the IC-MU encoder chip, this wide range of compact magnetic discs leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to mechanical integration and accuracy.

Key features:

Non-contact and wear-free measuring principle
Generous distance between sensor and disc
Space-saving compact form factor
Various codings available (16/15, 31/31, 64/63)
Customized mechanical adjustment possible

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
