MSI-HS Series Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor with Analog Output

The MSI-HS 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.
