Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducer Mpl

The displacement transducers operate according to the principle of run time measurement between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. One point is determined by a moveable position magnet whose distance from the null point corresponds to the section to be measured. The run time of an emitted impulse is directly proportionate to this section. Conversion to an analogue measuring signal takes place in the downstream electronics. The waveguide is housed in an extruded aluminium profile. The electronics is housed in a die-cast aluminium sensor head. Electrical connection is implemented via a circular connector. The position magnet is located either in a slider which is linked to the moving part of the machine via a ball joint or it moves as a liftable position magnet without wear over the profile.
