The variation of the magnetic field is sampled by the sensor and converted into an electric pulse, which determines the position; the magnetic technology could be of two types:\u00a0<strong>on axis<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>off axis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefit of the magnetic technology is the\u00a0<strong>absence of contact<\/strong>\u00a0in the detection system, which helps preventing the wear and it\u2019s therefore quite convenient in terms of costs, since it doesn&#8217;t require maintenance and has a potentially infinite durability.<\/p>\n<p>Magnetic encoders are particularly suitable for heavy duty applications that require high\u00a0<strong>robustness<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>speed<\/strong>\u00a0and a wide range of operating<strong>\u00a0temperature<\/strong>, and they ensure, at the same time, an excellent reliability in the generation of signals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-388\" src=\"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EAMW-58-63-sez.jpg\" alt=\"EAMW 58-63\" width=\"413\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EAMW-58-63-sez.jpg 413w, https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/EAMW-58-63-sez-232x300.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 413px) 100vw, 413px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magnetic encoders\u00a0employ a signal detection system based on the\u00a0variation of the magnetic flux\u00a0generated by a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":721,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1598","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1598"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1609,"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1598\/revisions\/1609"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eltra.bfenterprise.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
