GMI® Technology – Innovation Made in Austria
The GMI® encoder technology, developed by FLUX for position measurement, capitalizes in an exceptional way the interaction between magnetic field and electromagnetic induction.
The Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI®) effect is a phenomenon that relies on the skin effect. It is characterized by material’s significant alteration in impedance when exposed to external magnetic fields. Consequently, a sensor’s position relative to a scale generates a signal. FLUX makes full use of these properties for its innovative GMI® position measurement technology.
Patented GMI® encoders combine 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. Furthermore, FLUX Encoder Systems work without hysteresis and provide a real-time position update rate.
