Magnetostrictive Position Sensors
Description
Analog outputs include 0 to 10 V, 0 to 20 mA, 4 to 20 mA and -10 to +10 V as both minimum to maximum and vice versa. Analog output version also features programmable start and end-stop points. Quadrature digital output features an initialization phase upon power-up that eliminates the need for a reference drive. Serial Synchronous output interface provides 24, 25 or 26-bit output depending on model. Up to two independent magnetic markers can be used on select models of the TP1 Series.
Injection molding, among other applications, have found this economical by controlling injector and platen/mold with two simultaneous output signals from a single position sensor.Both captive sliding and free-floating magnetic marker versions can be used with the TP1 sensors. Designed to withstand shock and vibration up to 100G/12G, TP1 Series transducers have an operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.
