MSI-B Series Linear Position Sensor with SSI Output
Rod-style, high-precision, absolute, non-contact magnetostrictive position sensor with a measuring range from 25 to 3800 mm. Position measurement is performed using ring-type position magnets moving along the waveguide without physical contact. The sensor flange is made of high-quality stainless steel and is designed for long service life.

SSI PROTOCOL TIMING DIAGRAM |
![]() This oscillogram shows a standard SSI transmission. Channel 1 reads the clock signal "Clock (+)" Channel 2 reads the binary code "Data (+)" The interval between two transmissions (Monoflop time) is 16 microseconds. This performance corresponds to Temposonics V series sensors. As a result, our sensors are compatible with all controllers currently available on the market.** |
