NOTE
Position magnets
Depending on the housing variant, the DAX
design is suitable both for free-floating, i.e. non-contacting position magnets
and for guided position magnets.

3.2.2
Mounting free-floating position magnets (C-magnet and block magnet)
Note the following when installing free-floating position magnets:
To ensure the accuracy of the position measuring system, the position mag‐
net is secured to the moving machine part using non-magnetizable screws
(stainless steel, brass, aluminum).
The moving machine part must guide the position magnet on a path parallel
to the linear encoder.
The distance 1 between the position magnet and parts made of magnetiz‐
able material must be at least 15 mm
figure 9, page
11).
The following values must be observed for the nominal distance 1 between
the position magnets and linear encoder and for the center offset 2
