MTS Sensors GB Series High Resolution Magnetostrictive Position Sensors

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
