Magnetostrictive position sensors mainly feature all kinds of industry outputs to support a wide range of industrial applications. As the name suggests, these sensors are designed with Temposonics magnetostrictive technology. These heavy-duty sensors can withstand harsh industrial conditions. They also offer a longer lifespan and excellent reliability. Take a closer look at 4 popular magnetostrictive position sensors and their specifications.
1. R-Series V RP5
R-Series V RP5 is a new generation of heavy-duty profile-style position sensors designed for externally mounted applications. This sensor is backward compatible. The operating temperature range of the R-Series V RP5 sensor is up to +185 °F (+85 °C). This sensor is highly resistant to vibration and shock. The high accuracy and reliability make the V RP5 a performance beast. Apart from that, it comes with multi position measurement.
Key specification
· Connection type: 1 × M16 male connectors (6 pin)
· Operating voltage: Max 30 VDC ±20%
· Power consumption: < 3.25 W
· Dielectric strength: 500 VDC
· Sensor profile: Aluminium
2. R-Series V RH5
R-Series V RH5 is another performance-oriented rod-style sensor specially developed for in-cylinder applications. This sensor is also backward compatible. The range of operating temperature of the R-Series V RP5 sensor is approx. +185 °F (+85 °C). R-Series V RH5 is also vibration and shock-resistant. Apart from that, this sensor offers high reliability and accuracy. It also allows multi-position measurement.
Key specification
· Sensor rod: Stainless steel
· Sensor housing: Aluminium
· Operating voltage: Max 30 VDC ±20%
· Power consumption: < 3.25 W
· Dielectric strength: 500 VDC
· Connection type: 1 × M16 male connectors (6 pin)
3. TempoLink smart assistant
The TempoLink smart assistant is one of the essential accessories for the R-Series V. It mainly works as an assistant between the user and sensor & offers the following info:
· Sensor status
· The internal temperature of the sensor
· Total time of sensor operation
· Distance moved by position magnets
The communication and connection between the TempoLink and a sensor are built through a power supply. It can also transmit several sensor parameters through a USB port or wirelessly.
Key specification
· Operating temperature: −20 to +60°C
· Humidity: 10 to 90 %
· Ingress protection: IP30
· Housing: ABS plastic
· Dimensions: 54 × 44 × 53 mm
· Operating voltage: +24 VDC
· Power consumption: 15 W
4. G-Series GP
G-Series GP is a microprocessor-based magnetostrictive linear position sensor used for cylinders. It comes with a very robust design and it can withstand tough industrial conditions. Upgraded performance with backward compatibility is one of the major benefits of selecting a G-Series sensor. Apart from that, the sensor head consists of an integrated electronic interface and active signal conditioning. Moreover, it comes with non-contact sensing technology and it also allows linear and absolute measurement.
Key specification
· Operating temperature: −40 to +80°C
· Sensor rod: 304L stainless steel
· Connection type: 6-pin male connector D60 (M16)
· Operating pressure: 350 bar static and 690 bar peak
· Mounting torque: 45 N-m
The magnetostrictive position sensors are long-lasting and they offer premium reliability. They are also known for high levels of accuracy and robustness.
