MTS has extended its product portfolio of magnetostrictive position sensors for mobile hydraulics with the Temposonics Model MB stainless steel sensor. The unit has been developed specially for external attachment to a hydraulic cylinder, and can be used in applications such as steer-by-wire.
Compact dimension and M14 x 1.5 thread enables mounting on double-acting steering cylinders
Magnet integrated into piston transmits position through non-ferrous cylinder wall
Using two externally mounted sensors, can function in redundant capacity to meet stringent safety requirements
Suitable for direct thread-in installation in differential cylinders
Offers flexibility to either thread into cylinder or attach on outside
Available with 12 V supply for measuring range of 72 mm to 250 mm
Design enables large-scale integration in mobile hydraulics
Non-contact position measurement provides long service life
Utilizes direct, analog voltage output to provide high-accuracy position feedback with linearity and hysteresis of < ± 0.25 mm and resolution of 0.25 mm
High-survivability rating with 100 g single shock rating
Vibration profile meets ISO 16750-3 specification
Protection type IP 69K ensures electrical connection is dust and watertight
