MTS Systems Corp. Sensors Division recently developed a "rod & cylinder" style linear sensor for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder and machine positioning applications. Designated the Temposonics ER Sensor, this design represents the newest addition to the E-Series line of position sensors.
The rod & cylinder design with a "sensing rod" can extend and
retract fully into and out of the sensor housing. The sensing magnet is
completely contained and protected at all times, to provide a durable
sensor performance. The unit has IP67 sealing for both the sensor and
rod.
The sensor also features over-voltage protection to 36 Vdc and reverse polarity protection to 30 Vdc on input voltage connections, and the integral DIN connector is CE certified for use in rugged environments. Other ER sensor features and capabilities include a stroke length to 1500 mm, and several mounting options, with mounting feet slots on three sides of the sensor.
The entire sensor can be mounted to the machine using standard mounting feet and screws that can be adjusted to the desired integral connector and extension cable orientation. Rod end mounting options help to simplify sensor installation design and facilitate articulated motion sensing. Applications for the ER sensor include hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder positioning for factory automation and machines.
The sensor housing can be fixed to the machine and rod and then attached to platen for injection molding, presses, die casting, wood finishing and general packaging machines. The rod end mounting design also facilitates non-linear motion sensing for swinging door applications.
