Position sensor for hydraulic cylinder used in steering.

MTS Sensors will release the Temposonics® model MB as a magnetostrictive position sensor for construction machinery. This stainless steel sensor has been specifically developed for external use on hydraulic cylinders and can be used in applications such as steer-by-wire, making it suitable for use in double-acting steering cylinders. By utilizing two external sensors, it offers redundant functionality, meeting high safety requirements.
In addition to being external to double rod cylinders, the MB sensor is also suitable for direct mounting via screws onto differential cylinders. This means that model MB has the flexibility to be installed either inside the cylinder or externally.
Model MB operates at a power supply voltage of 12V, with a measurement range of 72-250mm, and its compact size facilitates easy installation while ensuring high durability for non-contact absolute position measurement. With an analog direct output, it provides accurate position feedback with linearity of ±0.25mm or less. It boasts high durability with shock resistance of 100G and is resistant to dust, water, and oil, with a protective structure rated at IP69K.
