Sony SL220-94 Electromagnetic Scale 98 Inch

Product Description

The SONY SL220-94 is an electromagnetic linear scale designed for precision measurement in industrial and machine tool applications. With a resolution of 0.0005 inches and a scale length of 98 inches, it delivers high-accuracy positional feedback suitable for demanding metrology and CNC integration tasks. Accuracy is rated at 25+5L micrometers per 1,000 millimeters of travel, making it appropriate for applications where tight dimensional tolerances are required. Licensed technicians and precision machine builders typically specify this unit for integration into measuring systems, grinding machines, lathes, and similar equipment where repeatable linear feedback is essential.

The SL220-94 is suited for industrial machine tool environments requiring long-stroke linear measurement. Its 98-inch scale length accommodates large-format workpieces or extended axis travel on production machinery. This scale is typically installed by skilled machine tool technicians or metrology equipment integrators working in manufacturing, toolroom, or quality-control settings. The electromagnetic sensing principle provides reliable output even in environments with moderate contamination, including coolant mist and fine particulate common to machining environments.
