Sony GB-185A Electromagnetic Scale 77.5 Inch

Product Description

The SONY GB-185A is an electromagnetic linear scale designed for precision measurement applications requiring extremely fine resolution. With a resolution of 0.00002 inches and a scale length of 77.5 inches, this unit is built for high-accuracy position feedback in industrial machine tools, metrology equipment, and precision manufacturing setups. Accuracy is rated at 5 micrometers across the full scale length. Licensed technicians and metrology specialists working with CNC equipment, coordinate measuring machines, or precision grinding systems will find this scale suited to demanding tolerance requirements.

The GB-185A is applicable in industrial and manufacturing environments where linear position measurement must meet tight tolerance standards. Its 77.5-inch scale length accommodates larger travel ranges commonly found in milling machines, lathes, and inspection tables. The electromagnetic sensing technology provides reliable, contact-influenced position data suitable for integration into machine tool feedback systems and automated inspection rigs. This scale is intended for professional installation in controlled industrial settings.

Installation Notes

Installation of linear scales should be performed by qualified technicians familiar with machine tool metrology and feedback system integration. Power down all associated machinery and disable axis drives before mounting or wiring the scale. Follow the machine manufacturer guidelines for alignment, cable routing, and signal interface connections to avoid introducing error into position feedback. Consult applicable machine safety and electrical codes for proper grounding and shielding practices.
