MSI-HS Series Linear Position Sensor with SSI Output
The MSI-H 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.

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.** |
