Magnetic tape
The magnetic tape is the “scale” for the linear transducer. It is either fixed onto the flat surface of a
moving part of the circuit breaker or wrapped around a rotating shaft. Usually, a double-sided adhesive
tape is used for the mechanical bond between the tape and the circuit breaker.

Adhesive tapes
Adhesive tapes are used to fix the magnetic tapes to the circuit breaker. The double-sided adhesive tape
can be used for flat mounting surfaces. Both double-sided and standard adhesive tapes support
mounting of the magnetic tape on the perimeter of a shaft (“wrapping the magnetic tape around a shaft”).
