This document provides technical specifications for the MSA 650 series linear encoder. It lists available measuring lengths from 170mm to 1740mm. The glass scale has a thermal expansion of 8.5x10-6/K. Reference marks are located either in the middle or 35mm from the ends for lengths under 920mm, or 45mm from the ends for longer lengths. Required moving force is less than 3N with standard seals or 0.2N with low drag seals. It is protected to IP53 and RoHS compliant. Operating temperature is 0-50°C. Weight is 0.8kg/m for the scale and 0.3kg for the read head. It outputs square waves at resolutions from 1
