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.
Resolution limited only by the controller
Measuring length is available from 50 to 4000 mm with 1 mm increments.
Linearity: < 0.02 %
Repeatability: < 0.005 %
Operating temperature: up to 75 °C
Protection class: IP67

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.
