MSI-GT Series Linear Position Sensor with Analog EXi Output

Rod-style, high-precision, absolute, non-contact, magnetostrictive sensor with a working range from 25 to 3800 mm.
Position measurements are performed using ring-shaped position magnets moving along the waveguide without physical contact.
Designed for extreme operating conditions.
Sealed stainless steel housing. The sensing element is fully protected.
Ingress protection IP68. Compact design.
Dual redundancy (two independent sets of electronics inside the sensor).
Ex certificate: 0Ex ia IIB T4 Ga X.

Design features

  • Dual redundancy.

Thanks to the sensor head design, the sensor contains 2 mutually independent sets of electronics and measuring waveguides.

  • Absolute linear measurement (output signals proportional to the position magnet travel)
  • Measuring length from 25 to 3800 mm (1 mm increments)
  • Linearity < 0.01%
  • Repeatability < 0.001%
  • Operating temperature up to 75 °C
  • Ingress protection IP68
  • Ex certificate: 0Ex ia IIB T4 Ga X
