MSI-GT2/3 Series Linear Position Sensor with Analog Output
The MSI-GT2/3 series is a rod-type, high-precision, absolute, non-contact magnetostrictive linear position sensor with a measuring range from 25 to 3800 mm.
Position measurement is performed using ring-type position magnets that move along the waveguide without physical contact. The sensor flange is made of high-quality stainless steel and designed for long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.

Design features
- Output signal redundancy:
- MSI-GT2 – dual redundancy
- MSI-GT3 – triple redundancy
Due to the sensor head design, the sensor contains 2 or 3 independent sets of electronics and measuring waveguides.
- Absolute linear measurement (output signals proportional to magnet displacement)
- High accuracy: resolution up to 1 µm
- Measuring length from 25 to 3800 mm in 1 mm increments
- Linearity < 0.01%
- Repeatability < 0.001%
- Operating temperature up to 75 °C
- Protection class IP67
