EP/EL

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document is a technical data sheet for Temposonics EP/EL Analog Magnetostrictive Linear Position Sensors, designed for precise position measurement in industrial environments. These sensors are ideal for applications with limited installation space and can measure positions using more than one magnet.

Measuring Technology: The sensors utilize magnetostrictive technology, which involves a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, and a strain pulse converter. A current pulse generates a magnetic field, interacting with the position magnet's field to create a torsional strain pulse. This pulse is converted into an electrical signal, allowing for accurate position measurement.

EP/EL Sensor Features: These sensors are robust, non-contact, and wear-free, providing durability and precision in harsh environments. They are compact and suitable for standard applications, particularly where space is limited. Typical applications include the plastics industry, metal forming, woodworking, and factory automation.

Technical Data:

Output: Voltage (0-10 VDC) and Current (4-20 mA) options available.
Measurement Parameters: Infinite resolution, cycle time between 0.3 ms and 2 ms, and high linearity and repeatability.
Operating Conditions: Temperature range from -40 to +75 °C, IP67 ingress protection, and compliance with EMC standards.
Design: Aluminum housing with stroke lengths from 50 to 2540 mm.
Electrical Connection: M12 (5 pin) male connector, operating voltage of +24 VDC.

Technical Drawing and Connector Wiring: Detailed dimensions and wiring instructions are provided for proper installation and connection.

Position Magnets and Accessories: Various magnet types are available, each with specific material, weight, and operating temperature specifications. Accessories such as cable connectors and mounting clamps are also detailed.

Ordering Information: The document provides a comprehensive order code system for selecting sensor models, stroke lengths, connection types, operating voltages, and output configurations.

Contact Information: Contact details for Temposonics offices in the United States, Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Scandinavia, China, and Japan are provided for customer support and inquiries.

Temposonics® EP / EL Analog Data Sheet MEASURING TECHNOLOGY The absolute, linear position sensors provided by Temposonics rely on the company’s proprietary magnetostrictive technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision and robustness. Each Temposonics position sensor consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a momentary...
