MH-Series SAFETY CANbus

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Temposonics® MH-Series SAFETY CANbus sensors are designed for high-precision linear position measurement in hydraulic cylinders, suitable for Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL-2) applications. They are engineered to withstand harsh conditions including vibration, shock, dust, and electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for use in off-highway machinery and critical automation applications.
Specifications: The sensors offer a stroke length of up to 5000 mm with a linearity of less than 0.04% F.S. and a resolution of 0.1 mm. They are compatible with CANopen Safety and J1939-76 outputs, certified according to IEC 61508:2010 and ISO 13849-1:2015.
Measuring Technology: Utilizing magnetostrictive technology, the sensors provide absolute linear position measurements with high accuracy and repeatability. The technology involves a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, and a strain pulse converter.
Technical Data: The sensors can operate under dynamic pressures of over 2 million cycles at 350 bar and static pressures of over 20,000 cycles at 450 bar. They have an operating temperature range of -40 to +105 °C and are compliant with various EMC standards.
Design and Installation: The sensors are available in different rod designs with varying dead zones and stroke lengths. They feature stainless steel construction and are compliant with RoHS directives. Installation involves specific connector wiring and mechanical setup for the position magnet.
Accessories and Ordering: Various accessories such as position magnets, test kits, and connector systems are available. The sensors can be customized with different electrical wiring options, supply voltages, and baud rates.

MH-Series SAFETY CANbus-2

Temposonics® MH-Series SAFETY CANbus Data Sheet 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 radial...
