SENSORS FOR SEVERE SHOCK AND VIBRATION

Building on its Temposonics design platform, MTS Systems Sensors Division has introduced an option for magnetostrictive linear position sensing in extreme shock and vibration environments. The more rugged versions of the R-Series and G-Series products are said to take advantage of the patent pending electronic housing and sensing element mechanical suspension system first developed for the mobile equipment market in MTS’ M-Series mobile hydraulic product line.

The enhancements include elevated shock and vibration operation and life, as well as temperature, electromagnetic and other environmental protection, making the sensors suitable for sawmill, steel rolling mill, die cast and punch press applications. Already improved over previous designs, the G-Series and R-Series products are capable of continuous operation at external vibration levels of 15 g (10 to 2000 Hz, IEC standard 68-2-6) and surviving shock levels of 100 g (single hit, IEC standard 68-2-27). Using this new shock- and vibration-resistant design, the products can withstand 30 g vibration without interruption of normal operation.
