RGS20-S - 20µm tape scale
20µm pitch flexible tape scale

The scale used by all RG2 readheads is made from a thin flexible steel strip, which is gold plated to give high reflectivity and corrosion resistance. A tough lacquer coating provides handling resistance and allows easy cleaning.

It is attached by means of an adhesive backing tape to most engineering materials, including metals, ceramics and composites. Long continuous scale can be supplied on a reel and cut to length at the point of installation ensuring minimum waste and efficient inventory management. Features include :

• Easy scale installation - applicator tool enables rapid scale installation Ordering flexibility - cut to suit scale and common scale for each range Available on a reel - scale can be cut to suit any axis length Lengths up to 70m - compatible with even the largest machines
• RGS-S scale is designed to match the thermal behaviour of the substrates is affixed to, simplifying thermal compensation
