Replacement Scale Applications
Matching More Than the Mounting Length
OPKON scales can often provide a replacement path for Heidenhain, Givi Misure and other incremental linear scales. A reliable replacement requires confirmation of the complete electrical and mechanical configuration—not only the overall length.
01Stroke and dimensionsUseful stroke, mechanical travel, total length and mounting geometry.
02Signal compatibilityResolution, TTL, line-driver, high line-driver or push-pull output requirements.
03Power and referenceSupply voltage, reference-mark type and control-interface requirements.
04Connector and pinoutDB9 or round connector, cable arrangement and machine-side wiring.
Replacement suitability must be verified for the specific machine, control and original scale. Brand names are referenced only to describe potential replacement applications; OPKON products are not represented as universal drop-in replacements.
MPS Technical Overview
Configurable Electrical and Mechanical Options
The correct configuration is selected around the original machine feedback requirements.
2.5 to 25 µm
Available selections include 2.5, 5, 10, 12.5, 20 and 25 µm in 4x mode, depending on configuration.
TTL & Line Driver
Standard TTL and line-driver configurations, with high line-driver and push-pull options available.
5 VDC or 8–24 VDC
Standard 5 VDC supply with an optional wider 8–24 VDC supply range.
DB9 or M16
DB9 cable arrangements and an M16 eight-pin round connector option are documented in the product literature.
Industrial Protection
IP65 construction, operating temperature from −20°C to +80°C and displacement speed below 3 m/s.
