Today MTS Systems Corporation has over 2000 employees worldwide – 280 of whom are employed by MTS Sensors at three sites in the USA (Cary, N.C.), Germany (Lüdenscheid) and Japan (Tokyo). At MTS, intensive basic research is efficiently merged with a consistent focus on practical requirements. The results are innovative solutions for a wide range of potential industrial and non-industrial applications. Headquarters MTS Systems Corporation, Minneapolis, USA MTS Sensors Division Cary (North Carolina), USA MTS Sensors Technology Corp. Tokyo, Japan MTS Sensor Technologie Lüdenscheid, Deutschland Magnetostriction - A Milestone in Measurement Technology The heart of MTS sensors is the ferromagnetic measuring element, also known as the waveguide, and a movable position magnet that generates a direct-axis magnetic field in the waveguide. When a current or interrogation pulse passes through the waveguide, a second magnetic field is created radially around the waveguide. The interaction between the magnetic field in the waveguide and the magnetic field produced by the position magnet generates a strain pulse which travels at a constant ultrasonic speed from its point of generation, the measurement point, to the end of the waveguide where it is transformed into an electric pulse in the sensor element. The resulting signal is processed by the specialized electronics of the Temposonics sensor. With our extensive know-how of ferromagnetic materials, magnetic effects and ultrasonic processes, MTS remains unrivalled in performance standards for non-contacting position measurement of the highest precision.
