MH-Series COMPACT Analog/CANbus

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Temposonics® MH-Series COMPACT Analog/CANbus sensors are engineered for mobile machinery, providing reliable and precise position sensing. They are robust against electromagnetic interference, shock, vibration, dust, and weather, making them suitable for harsh environments.

Measurement Technology: These sensors use magnetostrictive technology, involving a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, and a strain pulse converter. The interaction of magnetic fields creates a torsional strain pulse, converted into an electrical signal for accurate and repeatable position determination.

Technical Specifications:

  • Stroke Length: 50 to 2500 mm
  • Resolution: Better than 0.1 mm
  • Operating Temperature: -40 to +105 °C
  • Ingress Protection: IP67/IP69K
  • Shock Resistance: 100 g (6 ms) single shock per axis
  • Vibration Resistance: 15 g (5-2000 Hz)
  • EMC Compliance: ISO 13766-1:2018, EN ISO 14982:2009, EN 13309:2010, ISO 16750-2:2012

Output Options:

  • Analog: Voltage (0.25-4.75 VDC/0.5-4.5 VDC) or Current (4-20 mA)
  • CANbus: SAE J1939, CANopen protocol

Electrical Connection: Sensors connect via M12 connectors, DT connector systems, or single wires, operating on 12/24 VDC with overvoltage and polarity reversal protection.

Mechanical Installation: Designed for in-cylinder use, with guidelines for position magnets and set screws to ensure functionality and environmental protection.

Applications: Ideal for agricultural and construction machinery, including steering systems and hydraulic units, replacing traditional contact-based sensors like potentiometers.

Connector Wiring and Cable Specifications: Wire lengths vary by connector type, with specific configurations for DT systems. Cable outlets range from 300 to 9900 mm.

Delivery and Accessories: Accessories like position magnets, O-rings, and backup rings are ordered separately. Options include M12 and DT connector systems.

Design and Order Codes: Sensor models feature pressure fit flange designs with specific rod diameters, dead zones, and stroke lengths. Order codes detail CANbus configurations.

Frequently Ordered Accessories: Position magnets come in various sizes and materials, with specific operating temperatures. Connector accessories include M12 flanges and DT retainers.

Cables and Wiring: M12 A-coded female connectors are available in straight and angled configurations, with material and length specifications.

Test Kits: Analog and CANbus test kits include testers, adapters, cables, and software licenses.

Contact Information: Temposonics has offices in the US, Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Scandinavia, China, and Japan, with regional contact details provided.
