Sensors Withstand Rugged Environments

Temposonics III Series industrial position sensors are for rugged environments. The Series offers a resolution of 2 microns at 10,000 measurements per second standard. Features include a non-linearity of 0.02% and low hysteresis of 0.0004 mm. A simple modular architecture of three components includes: a wave guide head and electronics, both of which are fully encapsulated; and a selection of application housings that permit mounting flexibility and easy system integration. The embedded rod-style housing allows the electronics to be located away from the wave guide and eliminates the need for precise alignment. The Temposonics III Series offers the flexibility of measuring either two displacement outputs or one displacement output and one velocity output. Analogue, Serial Synchronous Interface, and Controller Area Network are standard output options for the units. Digital output capabilities provide absolute output, enabling instant recognition of machine position after power-loss recovery.
