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.

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
