ABSOLUTE POSITION / LINEAR DISPLACEMENT / LIQUID LEVEL
Magnetostrictive sensors. Built around your integration.
Specify your linear position sensor by stroke, installation envelope and output. Review hydraulic LDTs, external profile transducers and tank level probes with MagStrictive Position Systems.
START WITH THE MECHANICAL FIT
One sensing principle. Four installation paths.
An in-cylinder rod and a tank probe solve different installation problems. Start with your mounting environment.
Rod-style hydraulic position sensors
Plan an in-cylinder installation around the pressure boundary, mounting thread, piston magnet and three-part measuring envelope.
Review in-cylinder rod integration ↗02 / MSP-PROProfile-style linear transducers
External aluminum profiles for injection molding, presses and machine axes, with a guided slider or a floating position magnet.
Review external aluminum profile integration ↗03 / MSP-CMPCompact and mobile hydraulic LDTs
Review separate compact in-cylinder rod and external clevis-mounted telescoping designs for agricultural and mobile hydraulic equipment.
Review compact rod / clevis integration ↗04 / MSP-LVLLiquid level and interface probes
Configure tank level, oil/water interface and temperature measurement around the actual liquid, tank geometry and installation environment.
Review rigid / flexible tank probe integration ↗Position without a homing move
Time-of-flight measurement identifies the magnet position after startup, once the sensor and controller are ready.
No wiper on the measuring element
The position magnet moves along the protected waveguide. Guides, seals and mounting hardware still need a suitable service-life design.
Choose the signal your axis needs
Analog, SSI and industrial networks require different wiring and commissioning checks.
Compare interface requirements →REPLACING AN EXISTING TRANSDUCER?
The connector is only one part of the match.
Send the complete Temposonics, Balluff BTL, Gefran or GEMCO part number. We review mechanical dimensions, magnet compatibility, electrical pinout and controller behavior before proposing a configuration.
Open the replacement checklist ↗- Identify the assembly. Nameplate, stroke and installation drawing.
- Compare the interfaces. Thread, blind zones, magnet, pinout and output.
- Approve the configuration. Confirm the drawing and validate a sample on your equipment.
