Linear position sensor automatically adapts to number of magnets

Balluff offers a linear position sensor with Ethernet/IP interface. The magnetostrictive system with flexible magnet mode allows the user to work with up to 16 position magnets.

Two values can be output for each magnet: position and velocity. The sensor automatically adapts itself to the number of magnets. Measurement is 1-μm resolution.

Defined parameter substitution and flexible application tailoring help simplify startup. The noncontact, wear-free sensor is insensitive to contamination. Profile and rod styles are available.
