Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the TF1 series of inductive linear transducers by Novotechnik, highlighting their dynamic, precise, and insensitive nature. These sensors are designed for rapid positioning tasks and are resistant to shock, vibration, and magnetic fields.

Specifications
The TF1 series features touchless inductive position sensing with a system of transmission and receiver coils. Key specifications include:
  • Inductive measurement technology
  • Magnetic field resistance
  • Touchless and wear-free operation
  • High dynamic update rate of 10 kHz
  • Resolution up to 1 µm
  • Protection class IP67
  • Offset tolerance up to ±2 mm
  • Low temperature coefficient <15 ppm/K

Technology and Functionality
The sensor uses a floating position marker supplied by a high-frequency alternating field. The receiver coil system's sine/cosine structures are divided into coarse and fine tracks for position detection. The phase relationship of signals is converted into a linear position signal.

Performance and Applications
The TF1 series is suitable for highly dynamic positioning tasks due to its optimized control dynamics and high resolution. It is unaffected by magnetic fields, vibration, and shock, making it ideal for use in various industrial applications such as linear actuators, injection molding, die casting machines, and more.

Communication and Integration
The sensor transmits measured signals as analog current/voltage, digitally via SSI or IO-Link, or via CANopen. Ethernet interfaces are also developed. The analog version includes a teaching feature for position reconciliation.

Company Overview
Novotechnik has been a leader in precision measurement technology since 1947, with a focus on innovation, precision, and customer-oriented solutions. Their sensors are trusted by OEMs across various industries, including automotive, where over 50,000 sensor components are installed daily.

Global Presence
Novotechnik is represented worldwide through subsidiaries and approved dealers, ensuring first-class service and customer care globally.

NOVOPAD Touchless Transducer TF1-3

Suitable for highly dynamic positioning tasks Because of its exceptionally good dynamic characteristics, the new linear position sensor is suitable for very rapid positioning tasks. The measuring systems features a update rate of up to 10 kHz, with only a very small contouring error. By thus optimized control dynamics, even rapid motion changes do not result in overshooting. The sensor operates at a resolution down to less than 1 µm. Insensitive to magnetic fields The inductive Novopad-technology is impervious to the magnetic fields generated by large motors, hydraulic valves, or frequency inverters...
