MTS Sensor VietNam MH Threaded Position Sensor
MEASURING TECHNOLOGY The absolute, linear position sensors provided by MTS Sensors rely on the company’s proprietary Temposonics® magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness. Each Temposonics® position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the magnetic fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability. MH THREADED SENSOR The Temposonics® MH-Series sensors are specifically designed for direct stroke measurement in hydraulic cylinders. The MH Threaded sensor extends the rugged design of the Temposonics® MH Series sensors to external threaded installations. A MTS M12 connector system ensures protection to IP69K. The inherent absolute capabilities ensure that the MH Threaded sensor is always ready. With two connections styles, the responsive magnetostrictive linear position sensors can be integrated into most installations. Temposonics® MH Threaded sensors can be used in applications where access is available from the outside of the cylinder. Example applications include lift and tilt cylinders, hydraulic jacks, and hydraulic steering systems in agricultural and construction machinery.
