The ring has alternating magnetic north/south poles that are magnetized at a fixed distance called the pole pitch (see Figure 7). The pole pitch is 2 mm for SMRI2; it is 5 mm for SMRI5. The conversion electronics inside the sensor translates the magnetic fields of the ring into electrical signals equivalent to those of an incremental encoder or a linear scale.

SMRI2 • SMRI5 - minimize noise by connecting the cable shield (or the connector housing) and the frame to ground. Make sure that ground is not affected by noise. The connection point to ground can be situated both on the device side and on user’s side.
Information is listed in the delivery document too. Please always quote the order code and the serial number when reaching Lika Electronic for purchasing spare parts or needing assistance. For any information on the technical characteristics of the product refer to the technical catalogue.
SMRI2 • SMRI5 Mechanical installation WARNING Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel only, with power supply disconnected and mechanical parts compulsorily in stop. 3.1 Overall dimensions (values are expressed in mm) Figure 1 - Encumbrance sizes A Reference sensor “R” (page 21)
SMRI encoder must be compulsorily paired with MRI rings as stated in the previous section. See the order code of the rings: for example MRI/xxx-xx-2-xxx must be paired with SMRI2 encoder. Make sure that the mechanical installation always complies with the system requirements for distance, planarity and parallelism between the readhead and the ring indicated in Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6.
SMRI2 • SMRI5 3.4 Mounting the magnetic ring Several types of MRI magnetic rings featuring different mechanical characteristics and mounting options are available. The rings can be fixed to the motor shaft by means of grub screws (Figure 2) or screws (Figure 3).
SMRI2 • SMRI5 The mark punched in the frame of the ring (see Figure 4) shows the side where the Reference track is coded. It further indicates the point when the Reference signal is transmitted. Please note that the punch mark may be provided also in the rings that do not have the Reference track.

SMRI2 • SMRI5 Figure 5 - Alignment of the readhead / ring 3.6 Mounting tolerances Always comply with the mounting tolerances indicated in Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6. Make sure that the mechanical installation complies with the system requirements concerning distance, planarity and parallelism between the sensor and the ring.
SMRI2 • SMRI5 3.7 Standard counting direction The positive counting direction (the rising edge of A signal leads the rising edge of B signal) is achieved when the ring turns according to the arrow shown in Figure 4. For further information see the “4.7 Counting direction” section on page 21.
SMRI2 • SMRI5 Electrical connection WARNING Electrical connection must be carried out by qualified personnel only, with power supply disconnected and mechanical parts compulsorily in stop. WARNING If wires of unused signals come in contact, irreparable damage could be caused to the device.
A = A signal; /A = inverted A signal (or complementary signal). All Lika's magnetic encoders can provide AB0, /AB0 output signals. You are advised to always connect the inverted signals if the receiving device will accept them. Otherwise each output should be insulated singularly.
SMRI2 • SMRI5 4.4 Connection of the shield For signals transmission always use shielded cables. The cable shielding must be connected properly to the metal ring nut 3 of the connector in order to ensure a good earthing through the frame of the device. To do this disentangle and shorten the shielding 1 and then bend it over the part 2;...
(see the “4.8 Reference “R”” section on page 21). In the order code of the encoder you can find information about the interpolation factor. EXAMPLE SMRI2-L-1-1000-N-...: interpolation factor = 1000. MAN SMRI2_SMRI5 E 1.4 Electrical connection 19 of 28...

* number of ring poles EXAMPLE As in the previous examples, let's suppose we are using the SMRI2-L-1-1000- N-... encoder paired with the MRI/114-182-2-100 magnetic ring where 182 is the number of ring poles. As you can see in the order code, the interpolation factor is x1000.
It results from the following formula: pitch of the ring pole / interpolation factor The pole pitch is 2 mm for SMRI2 + MRI/...-2-...; it is 5 mm for SMRI5 + MRI/...- 5-..In our example it will be as follows: 2 / 1000 = 0.002 mm = 2 µm...
SMRI2 • SMRI5 NOTE The Reference track can be available only in the magnetic rings having a 10 mm / 0.4” wide magnetic surface. Magnetic rings having a 5 mm / 0.2” wide magnetic surface cannot have the Reference track.
