MSI-P Series Linear Position Sensor with Start/Stop 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

The modular design allows fast servicing and repair without releasing pressure from the hydraulic circuit.
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: < 0.01 %
Repeatability: < 0.001 %
Operating temperature: up to 85 °C
Protection class: IP67
The sensor supports the use of water-resistant and Teflon cables.

Interface

DIGITAL INTERFACE START/STOP
The "Ready" signal generation indicates a new measurement cycle and occurs in the Start/Stop module simultaneously with the "Start" signal. After the "Start" signal is generated, the Start/Stop module switches to line listening mode and waits for the "Stop" signal from the linear position sensor. The time difference (dt) between the "Start" and "Stop" signals is directly proportional to the position of the position magnet.
