Magnetostrictive technology and magnetostrictive encoders are increasingly used in linear motion measurement in various industrial equipment due to their wear-free, maintenance-free, and reliable absolute position detection.
Condition diagnostics and predictive maintenance enable efficient production, and the intelligent functions of sensors are increasingly being paid attention to by users. In order to solve the above application pain points, SICK has developed a new series of magnetostrictive linear encoders - DAX.
1. Design structure and working principle
As shown in the figure below, the DAX offers a variety of form factors, which are not only suitable for the positioning of the piston rod in hydraulic cylinders (first from the right), but also for external linear position measurement in various industrial equipment (first from the left and second from the left). A wide range of positioning magnet options are also available.
Thanks to the DMX core technology of magnetostriction, the sensor enables non-contact absolute position measurement and operates wear-free and maintenance-free.
2. Product technical parameters
3. Product overview
➡ The measuring range is extended. The DAX has a shorter unusable area, which minimizes the overall length of the sensor and allows for more flexibility in the mechanical design of the device.
➡ Thanks to the flexible system architecture, DAX can provide customized solutions with positioning magnets, unusable areas, etc., according to the customer's non-standard needs, to ensure that the sensor is effectively integrated in various application scenarios.
➡ Fast and convenient online configuration, which can be easily completed on the official website of SICK and customized non-standard models.
➡ Overvoltage and undervoltage protection enable reliable operation of the sensor in scenarios where the power supply is prone to fluctuations. Maximize sensor uptime, reduce equipment downtime, and increase productivity.
➡ DAX has intelligent functions such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance, which can realize the transparency of equipment operation status. Minimize unplanned downtime and enable efficient production.
4. Product selection and accessories
DAX products have a wide range of construction design and positioning magnet options, as well as flexible delivery time guarantees, to achieve a variety of combined solutions to meet the various needs of the user's site.

Sick Sensors – What are the Common Types of Proximity Sensors?
Capacitance – As the name suggests, these sensors work by recording changes in capacitance, which is a function of charge and voltage between two surfaces with an air gap or other material known as the dielectric constant. When the object to be measured enters the sensor field, it has an impact on the medium.
