The re-design of the complete product family and addition of two new models incorporates the latest advances in magnetostrictive technology while maintaining the economical pricing for which the E-Series sensor family is known. The new models will be available toward the end of 2010.

Upon its introduction, the original E-Series sensor family became a clear alternative to linear potentiometers and multiple limit switches. As a position sensor that provided performance and reliability in a small package, it became and remains an ideal solution for machine control and factory automation designers.

All E-Series position sensors now provide 0.01 mm resolution and repeatability, as well as 0.03% linearity deviation at a cost-effective price point. The new E-Series provides backward compatibility with the previous versions of the product family. With a rugged construction, the sensor achieves minimum IP67 ratings as well as 100g shock and 10g vibration resistance across the product family.

The new E-Series sensors feature Analog (voltage or current) and Start/Stop output. The analog model is now capable of reporting two positions simultaneously when using two position magnets. The E-Series connectivity now features widely available M12 connector cables.

Two new models are introduced with the E-Series product family to increase the range of suitable applications. A stainless-steel model EH provides a compact, rugged rod-style package with either a 7 mm or 10 mm tube. Completely new to the E-Series is the EL, a low-profile version, ideal for space-critical applications because of its height of just 15 mm. The EP profile-style model can operate so that the magnet floats over the sensor's head. The rod-and-cylinder housed ER version now has improved sealing and can be installed in any orientation.
