Sony GB-65A Electromagnetic Scale 31.3 Inch 0.00002 in

Product Description

The SONY GB-65A is a high-resolution electromagnetic linear scale designed for precision measurement applications in manufacturing, machining, and metrology environments. With a resolution of 0.00002 inches and a scale length of 31.3 inches, it delivers the fine positional feedback required in CNC equipment, coordinate measuring machines, and precision grinding systems. The GB-65A outputs accurate position data with a 5 micrometer accuracy rating, making it suitable for demanding dimensional inspection and machine tool feedback tasks. Installation is typically performed by machine tool technicians or metrology specialists integrating the scale into existing or new motion control systems.

The GB-65A is suited for use in industrial precision measurement setups where electromagnetic scale technology is specified. Typical applications include linear position feedback on machine tool axes, precision staging equipment, and quality control measurement systems. This scale is appropriate for both OEM integration into new equipment and retrofit upgrades on existing machines requiring improved positional resolution. Its 31.3 inch active length accommodates a wide range of travel distances found in standard machining and inspection equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machine tool technicians or metrology engineers familiar with linear scale alignment procedures. Power down all connected equipment and discharge any stored energy before mounting or wiring the scale. Proper alignment of the read head to the scale body is critical to achieving rated accuracy and should be verified with appropriate alignment tools before returning the machine to service. Follow the equipment manufacturer's wiring and mounting specifications throughout the installation process.
