Magnetostrictive position sensors for hydraulics
Position sensor manufacturer ASM has extended its successful family of magnetostrictive position sensors Posichron with a new sensor designed for use in the field of mobile hydraulics
Posichron is an absolute, contact-free and wear-free position sensor measuring system.
The sensor carries out an absolute position measurement and is equipped with analogue outputs 0-10V, 4-20mA, and alternatively with a digital pulse output start/stop or synchronous serial interface (SSI).
The PCST26 can be integrated trouble-free into hydraulic control systems.
In addition to the compact design and a variety of mounting flanges, the PCST26 possesses high electrical compatibility and is extremely resistant against shock and vibrations.
Due to these features the PCST26 achieves the highest measurement accuracy even in extreme hostile environments.
The sensor electronics for active signal processing is housed in an external electronic circuit.
In case of subsequent changes of interface requirements or in case of a sensor malfunction the electronic circuit can easily be exchanged without impact on the oil circuit.
The sensor parameters such as measurement range and zero position can be adjusted as occasion demands.
The PCST26 Position Sensor series is available with measurement ranges up to 5750mm and protection classes up to IP69K.
The linearity is specified up to +/- 0.02% full scale and the sensor repeatability is 0.001%.
