MTS Sensors’ M-Series Model MH Temposonics magnetostrictive linear-position sensors are designed for improving safety and versatility, increasing reliability, and reducing service costs for position-sensing applications in rugged environments encountered by construction, agriculture, and other off-highway machinery. The MH CAN bus output stainless-steel position sensor is designed for use in welded and tie-rod style cylinders or any space-limited cylinder application. Suitable for a range of standard hydraulic cylinders with diameters of 50 mm (2 in) or larger, the sensor consists of a robust sensor head with built-in electronics; pressure-proof sensor pipe to house and protect the internal sensing element; and a position magnet mounted on the piston that travels along the stationary sensor tube. Noncontact by design, the sensor system also features a 100 g shock and 25 g vibration rating and can be fully sealed and embedded in a cylinder for improved operating life.
