What is the max. piston speed of CEP1 and CE1 series cylinders? Also, how come when driving a CEP1 series cylinder without a speed controller, the measurements are not reproducible?

The max. piston speed of CEP1 series cylinders is 300 mm/s, and the max. piston speed of CE1 series cylinders is 500 mm/s. If the cylinder speed is too fast, a counting error may occur. This can be prevented by mounting a speed controller before use.
Note 1) Be aware that the speed can increase temporarily due to bounding or knocking.
Note 2) Measurement within the accuracy range cannot be performed when the operating speed range is exceeded because normal pulses are not output.
