MAGNETOSTRICTION AND ITS ADVANTAGES Our absolute, linear position sensors are based on the proprietary Temposonics® magnetostrictive technology and capture position by measuring the time of flight of an acoustic wave. We measure time in picoseconds within a waveguide that we design, manufacture, and control – this makes our measurement more precise, reliable, and durable. The speed of sound – tempo – is embedded in our name. 2 Absolute, non-contact measurement No recalibration required Highest sensor reliability Position magnet (Magnetic field) No mechanical wear Sensing element (W 1 Robust and...
