Resolution 0.5μm, response speed 10kHz absolute linear scale.

Temposonics offers excellent non-contact absolute displacement sensors using magnetostrictive technology, which serve as alternatives to traditional linear potentiometers, linear encoders, and rotary encoders. This absolute position sensor is an ideal solution for monitoring and controlling machines that perform hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical positioning. Additionally, the sensor head is equipped with a uniquely developed high-performance LSI, allowing for not only position detection but also the detection of movement speed, enabling the provision of a complete operational profile of the machine. It can compare a user-defined target value with the actual position using a single sensor and can simultaneously measure the position at up to 30 locations. Many other features are also included. Due to these characteristics, it is adopted in various applications such as industrial equipment, robotics, welding, medical devices, and wind and wave power generation.

Simultaneously measure the 'absolute position' and 'movement speed' at up to 30 locations.

Simultaneously measures absolute positions at up to 30 locations + movement speed. This is a linear scale that applies Temposonics' unique magnetostrictive technology. It achieves high resolution and non-contact measurement, enabling highly durable and precise linear displacement measurement in harsh industrial environments. It can detect multiple positions simultaneously and absolutely, which is impossible with other linear encoders, potentiometers, LVDTs, magnetic tape/optical linear scales, and it also allows for the measurement of movement speed. Being non-contact and absolute, it requires almost no maintenance. This multi-position measurement function is available in the Temposonics R series models with CAN, Profibus, EtherCAT, and EtherNet/IP interfaces.
