Nov 19, 2009 Available with various interfaces and compatible with POWERLINK protocols, R-Series survives harsh environments of metalforming applications. Position and velocity measurements can be provided for up to 4 locations on sensor. Position-sensing resolution, as low as 1 micron, can be adjusted at factory or in field, and linearity correction option improves non-linearity specification within ±20 microns. Accuracy can also be improved, ±10 microns, when using magnet matched to sensor.

Rod and Cylinder Sensor measures position with zero wear.

Jul 02, 2009 Magnetostrictive Temposonics® linear-position sensors of R-/G-/E-Series are offered with 10 kHz update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, that allows updated measurements every 100 µsec. They can generate up to 20 simultaneous position outputs along given sensing element. While E-Series suits less-demanding applications, G-Series is more rugged. R-Series offers linearity down to ±20 microns or better, resolution of 1 micron, and repeatability within 0.001%.

Linear Position Sensors can be used in steel rolling mills.

May 20, 2009 Available with linearity correction option, Temposonics® R- and G-Series are shock- and vibration-resistant solutions that provide 20 microns or better linearity for both rod- and profile-style sensors. This optimizes measurement signals accuracy and minimizes system-related delays, affording precise and dynamic control. While R-Series provides absolute, linear position measurement and non-contact sensing technology, G-Series provides measurements in analog or digital outputs.

Test Kit verifies sensor function after installation.
