Absolute linear magnetic encoder for measuring distance 1

[HeavyRain]

Hi all,

I would like to measure distance between 0 and 300 mm with a resolution of 1 mm at least.
Could you please tell me if it is possible to do that using an absolute linear magnetic encoder?

Thank you in advance for any response

Yes, is possible. You might look into linear position measurement products offered by Heidnehain and Balluff, to name but two.

Thank you so much for your response.

Do you plan to make this device yourself? If so, ok, and agree, yes, it can be done.

If you mean to buy a device to do this, why limit yourself to 'magnetic?' There are lots of ways to get absolute linear measurement over such a small distance. More tags to google might be: linear potentiometer, newall scale, linear encoder.

Add magnetostrictive sensors to the list (
