The Magnescale Linear Scale contains the GBP, SR108, SR128, GB-ER, and SJ700A series.
Magnescale GBP Series have been around for at least 20 years and is a very durable scale. The GBP scale is a magnetic scale that holds up in difficult environments. Coolant, chips, dirt and dust are typically no problem for the GBP scales. This scale is ideal replacement for SR50 or SR30 series scales. For the SR50 and SR30 series, you will need to drill new mounting holes for the scale. However, you can use your existing cable that you have for the SR50 or SR30 series scale. The GBP series was developed for some OEMs, such as Gerber Coburn.
Magnescale SR128 Scales have been around for at least 20 years and is a very durable scale. The SR128 is a magnetic scale that holds up in difficult environments. Coolant, chips, dirt and dust are typically no problem for the SR128 scales. This scale is ideal replacement for some of the older Magnescales. Older scales like the SR1711, SR50 or SR108 series scales can all be replaced by Magnescale SR128 scale. For the SR1711 and SR50 series, you will need to drill new mounting holes for the scale. However, if you are replacing a SR108 series scale, it is a drop in replacement. You will have to purchase a new cable, more than likely for all scales.
Magnescale SJ700A scales are semi-modular types that incorporate the detector inside the scale, and the relative positions of their scale and head are adjusted and secured using a slider holder. The SJ700A series may be used as is by connecting it to a Sony Manufacturing Systems Corporation counter unit (LG20, LH70 series).
