MTS Sensors introduces the GBS high resolution magnetostrictive position sensors featuring a synchronous serial interface (SSI).
- Based on the company’s proprietary Temposonics technology which provides an extremely accurate, non-contact method for measuring position
- Delivers industry-leading levels of linearity (up to ±0.02% full scale) and repeatability (up to ±0.005% full scale)
- Rod shaped and highly optimized for incorporation into hydraulic cylinders
- Available with measuring lengths between 25 mm and 3.25 m
- Flat, compact housing for supporting electronics makes for easy deployment in restricted spaces
- Features IP67-rated ingress protection with an adapted connector or IP68-rated protection for models with cable outlets
- Includes high pressure resistance and strong immunity to electro-magnetic interference
- Operating temperature range is -40 to 90 C (194 F)
- Extended temperature range version reaches ranges of -40 to 100 C (212 F)
- Allows users to select between SSI and analog output options as appropriate
- SSI functionality dramatically enhances reliability and signal integrity in harsh industrial environments, enabling 5 µm measurement resolution to be attained
- Programmable using a hand-programmer unit orcomputer via USB port
- Can be programmed wirelessly via Bluetooth to expedite implementation process and make maintenance easy to undertake, especially when sensors are located in hard to reach places
- Programming software enables user to set and adjust a wide variety of different parameters, such as synchronous/asynchronous measurement modes, measuring direction, coding and data length
