Great Accuracy in the Face of Great Measuring Distances

Magnetostrictive Linear Sensors

Magnetostrictive sensors are utilized for all those applications, where the sensing of positions and speeds requires great reliability and high precision, particularly in the face of great distances. They are available in profile (TP1) and rod design (TH1), are also suitable for mounting directly in hydraulic cylinders and are deliverable for gauge lengths up to 4250 mm.

Not only do these products provide integrated monitoring and linearization of measurements, but they also guarantee a maximum in safety and dynamics for data transmission tasks. The resolution is independent of the measuring distance and consistently rates at 1 micrometer. The high mechanical robustness in combination with the measuring principle provides for extensive imperviousness to shock and vibrations.

Besides analog power and voltage interfaces, we also offer start/stop interfaces for up to three position markers, Synchronous Serial Interfaces (SSI), CAN interfaces, or IO-Link interfaces.
