PMS2 - Magnetic Linear Transducer

Special Features

• Very accurate measuring principle - true power on
• Strokes up to 4000 mm
• Suitable for heavy duty applications - IP67
• Very long lifespan due to wearless principle
• High accuracy because of high resolution and very good linearity

Due to its excellent performance in terms of EMC immunity, the displacement sensor is suitable for use in electromagnetically disturbed industrial environments. Also to mention is the maximum ripple VSUP <1Vpp.
In the displacement transducer series PMS2 the mechanical detection of linear movement is done by a guided or free cursor, in which magnets are casted in sealing compound. There is a choice of different cursor versions with ball joint, which compensate lateral offset or a free position sensor, which allows lateral offset up to ±2 mm. Several cursors can be used on one position sensor. This permits applications with critical shock or vibration influences.
The sturdy design with protection class IP67 enables to use the linear sensor even in very harsh environmental conditions, because in the sealed housing the magentostrictive sensor element and the electronic runtime measurement device are integrated. The position evaluation of the magnetic cursor is transformed contactless into a linear analogue signal 0..10V or 4..20mA/0..20mA. The magnetostrictive measurement principle is true power on and delivers absolute values in very high accuracy for linear motion measurement from 50 up to 4000 mm even in heavy duty applications.
