RLS and CALMFLOOR: Enhancing building performance

RLS has published a case study on CALMFLOOR entitled ‘Enhancing building performance: The role of magnetic encoders in active mass dampers’. RLS is the global designer, manufacturer and supplier of advanced rotary and linear motion sensors. Following FSD Active’s decision to incorporate the RLS LA11 linear absolute magnetic encoder in the motors and mass block within the CALMFLOOR housing, RLS has published a case study on the collaboration.

The widely respected manufacturer began to specialise in the design and production of magnetic encoders and components in 2000. With FSD Active’s commitment to quality in all aspects of our design and manufacturing processes, the precision of the RLS LA11 encoder system was considered ideal for the CALMFLOOR motor.

“The LA11’s balance between precision, robustness and price is market-leading and fits the company’s requirements perfectly,” explained Emma Hudson, CTO at FSD Active. “It works without any set-up issues, so the team can focus on getting the best performance out of the CALMFLOOR system.”

Components that ensure optimal effectiveness of the active mass damper motors

The RLS case study highlights how CALMFLOOR’s active mass dampers supress excessive vibrations in building floors and the crucial role RLS LA11 magnetic encoders play in the process. In short, the encoder readheads, which are mounted on the housing, measure the position of the motors and mass blocks within the active mass damper. They can then enable an immediate response to any changing conditions and ensure the optimal effectiveness of the motors.
