RT4 SSI Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensor

Brand: Temposonics an Amphenol Company
Request Information
Does not ship to Massachusetts, United States
RT4 Sensor: Robust, non-contact and wear-free, the Temposonics linear position sensors provide best durability and accurate position measurement solutions in harsh industrial environments.

Designed for demanding applications that require redundancy and detached electronics due to high temperature or high reliability requirements.

The position measurement accuracy is tightly controlled by the quality of the waveguide which is manufactured by MTS Sensors.

The position magnet is mounted on the moving machine part and travels contact-lessly over the sensor rod with the built-in waveguide.
Features
  • Detached electronics up to 600 mm from sensor rod
  • Linear, absolute measurement
  • Non-contact sensing technology
  • Linearity deviation less than 0.02%
  • Direct 24/25/26-bit SSI output, gray/binary formats
  • LEDs for sensor status and diagnostics
