GB-Series with threaded flange SSI

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Temposonics® GB-Series with threaded flange SSI is a durable, non-contact linear position sensor designed for challenging industrial settings. It features a compact design, high temperature resistance, and allows for the replacement of sensor elements and electronics without disrupting the hydraulic circuit.
Key Features:
  • Replaceable sensor elements and electronics to minimize maintenance costs.
  • Programmable start and end positions tailored to application needs.
  • 360-degree rotatable sensor electronics housing for adaptable connection orientation.
Measuring Technology: Employs magnetostrictive technology for precise position measurement, involving a ferromagnetic waveguide, position magnet, strain pulse converter, and supporting electronics. Magnetic field interactions produce a torsional strain pulse, converted into an electrical signal for accurate measurement.
Technical Data:
  • Output Interface: SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface).
  • Resolution: Minimum 5 µm.
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to +90 °C, with options up to +100 °C.
  • Ingress Protection: IP67/IP68.
  • Shock and Vibration Resistance: 100 g shock, 15 g vibration.
  • EMC Compliance: Conforms to EN 61000-6-4 and EN 61000-6-2 standards.
Design and Material: The sensor electronics housing is constructed from stainless steel (AISI 303), and the sensor rod from stainless steel (AISI 304L). The device complies with RoHS standards.
Electrical Connection: Options include M12 or M16 connectors, or cable outlets. It operates at +24 VDC with polarity and overvoltage protection.
Accessories: Includes position magnets, O-rings, cable connectors, and programming tools. Various cable types are available, such as PUR, FEP, and silicone cables.
Ordering Information: The order code specifies options for connection type, operating voltage, sensor model, design, stroke length, and output specifications.
Performance Specifications:
  • Measuring direction options include forward and reverse, with both asynchronous and synchronous measurement capabilities.
Operating Temperature:
  • Two temperature ranges are specified: -40 to +100 °C (-40 to +212 °F) and -40 to +90 °C (-40 to +194 °F).
Programming:
  • Programming is conducted via cable.
Delivery:
  • Accessories must be ordered separately. Sensors and O-rings are part of the delivery for different models (GB-M/GB-T and GB-B).
Contact Information:
  • Temposonics has offices in the United States, Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Scandinavia, China, and Japan, with contact details provided for each location.
Trademark Information:
  • Temposonics, LLC and Temposonics GmbH & Co. KG are subsidiaries of Amphenol Corporation. Trademark ownership details are available on their website.

Temposonics® GB-Series with threaded flange SSI 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....
