MSI-MH Series Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor with Analog Output

The MSI-MH series is a rod-type, high-precision, absolute, non-contact magnetostrictive linear position sensor with a measuring range from 50 to 3800 mm.

Position measurement is performed using ring-type position magnets that move along the waveguide without physical contact. The sensor flange is made of high-quality stainless steel and designed for long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.

Interface

Analog Output

The analog sensor connects directly to the control system or display. Its microelectronics generate normalized output signals that are directly proportional to the distance.

Setting

The main difference between an analog signal and a digital signal is that it has a reference point. When replacing a failed sensor, recalibration of the equipment is required in most cases. This can be done in two ways:

If the customer’s machine has a calibration function, after replacing the sensor, the operator assigns the new end positions to the machine’s control system by moving the mechanism in manual mode.
Using the MSI-280 618 handheld programmer, the new end position values can be programmed directly into the sensor. The procedure is similar to the first method, but in this case, the values are assigned to the sensor rather than to the customer’s machine.
