MSI-PB Series Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor with Analog Output
Profile-style, high-precision, absolute, non-contact magnetostrictive position sensor with a measuring range of 25 to 4000 mm.
Position is measured by position magnets that travel along the waveguide with a maximum air gap of up to 10 mm.
Price on request
Design Features
-
Highly reliable vibration-resistant magnetostrictive position sensor
-
The sensor is compatible with all BALLUFF position magnets and with selected magnets from Temposonics.
- The sensor provides absolute linear measurement, with output signals proportional to the displacement of the position magnet.
- An LED indicator is provided for sensor diagnostics.
- The sensor delivers high accuracy with resolution up to 1 μm.
- Measuring length is available from 25 to 4000 mm with 1 mm increments.
- Linearity: < 0.02 %
- Repeatability: < 0.005 %
- Operating temperature: up to 75 °C (optionally up to 105 °C)
- Protection class: IP67
