DIN SPEC 91411: A standardized representation of magnetic scales

Jürgen Gerber, Rolf Slatter
  • Abstract:
    When it comes to scales for magnetic length and angle measurement systems, there has been no uniform terminology, no common drawing rules - neither for the mechanical nor for the magnetic parameters - and this has often led to misunderstandings or even errors in de-sign drawings. This primarily affects manufacturers of magnets, magnetic scales and sen-sors as well as machine or device manufacturers. A consortium consisting of a total of 13 companies and research institutions, mainly members of the Innovation Platform for Mag-netic Microsystems INNOMAG e. V., has now developed a DIN SPEC standard for the uni-form representation of magnetic measuring scales.
