MONORAIL AMSD 3B is an integrated magneto-resistive measuring system for distance measurement based on the MONORAIL MR profile guideway with an incremental, digital interface. The AMSA 3B is the starting point for this product. The profile rails are thus identical and are compatible with both AMSA 3B and AMSD 3B.
The AMSD 3B version has an incremental, digital interface and a range of reading head options that permit different resolutions and allow the system to be adapted to control systems with different input frequencies.
Integrated digital and analog distance measuring system (with rollers or balls)
Digital and analog measuring systems enable precise linear motion and maintain the tightest tolerances

The AMSA 3B analog version has a voltage interface of 1 Vpp for connection to all standard control systems, and forms the basis for the AMSD 3B digital version. The profile rails are thus identical and are compatible with both versions. The AMSD 3B version has an incremental, digital interface and a range of reading head options that permit different resolutions and allow the system to be adapted to control systems with different input frequencies.
