Balluff's Micropulse Generation 7 Linear Position Transducer

Balluff's Micropulse Generation 7 Linear Position Transducer is a linear transducer for the measurement of absolute position. A magnet defines the position to be measured on a waveguide. The waveguide can have a length between 25 and 7600 mm. The measurement is based on the magnetostrictive effect. Measuring ranges can be adjusted. Positions can be measured with a resolution of a few Amum. Positions of up to two magnets can be detected and put out on two outputs. The transducer is a robust measurement device against magnetic fields, vibrations or EMC fields in industrial environments. The position measurement resolution is very high and the position signal can be put out on an analog interface with voltage or current outputs. The position detection update rate can be up to 4 kHz. Different stroke lengths can be used - as long as 300 inches. Diagnosis functions via error signal outputs and LEDs are also available.
