Patented FLUX GMI technology combines the 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 performance of an optical encoder with the 𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 of an inductive encoder and the large 𝙢𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 and 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 of a magnetic encoder.

The Giant Magento Impedance (GMI) effect is a phenomenon, based on the skin effect, in which certain materials exhibit a drastic change in impedance when exposed to external magnetic fields. Thus, a signal can be generated in response to the position of the sensor with respect to the scale.
