MH-Series SLIM

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Temposonics® MH-Series SLIM sensor is a compact position sensor designed for short-stroke hydraulic cylinders in mobile machinery applications. It employs magnetostrictive technology for precise and robust position sensing.
Key Features:
  • Supports stroke lengths up to 600 mm.
  • Offers CANbus output, with voltage output planned for Q4 2026.
  • Engineered for high durability and precision in challenging environments.
Measurement Technology: Utilizes a ferromagnetic waveguide, position magnet, and strain pulse converter. A current pulse generates a magnetic field that interacts with the position magnet to create a torsional strain pulse, which is then converted into a distance measurement.
Technical Specifications:
  • Outputs: Voltage (0.25…4.75 VDC) and CANbus.
  • Resolution: 0.1 mm, with repeatability of ±0.1 mm.
  • Operating temperature range: −40…+105 °C.
  • Ingress protection: IP67.
  • Shock and vibration resistance: Compliant with IEC standards.
  • EMC compliance: ISO 13766-1:2018, EN ISO 14982:2009, ISO 16750-2:2012.
  • Pressure ratings: Nominal 350 bar, max overload 450 bar, proof pressure 625 bar.
Design and Material: The sensor housing is made of stainless steel (AISI 303), with a sensor rod of stainless steel (AISI 304L), and includes HNBR and PTFE sealing components.
Electrical Connection: Operates on 12/24 VDC, with over-voltage and polarity protection up to ±200 VDC. Supports various connector types, including DT and M12 systems.
Applications: Suitable for off-highway equipment, agricultural machinery, construction vehicles, and material handling systems.
Installation and Wiring: Provides detailed wiring configurations for different connector systems to ensure proper installation and functionality.
Specifications: Available with various cable lengths and connector configurations. Output options include voltage outputs (0.25-4.75 VDC, 0.5-4.5 VDC, etc.) and CANbus outputs (CANopen, SAE J1939). Operating voltage is nominally 12/24 VDC (8-32 VDC).
Ordering Information: Includes a detailed order code structure for customizing the sensor model, design, stroke length, electrical wiring, and other parameters, with options for pressure fit and threaded flanges, different wire lengths, and connector types.
Accessories: Lists available accessories such as position magnets, test kits, and connector systems, with part numbers and specifications including material, weight, and operating temperature.
Wiring and Connectors: Provides detailed wiring configurations for various connector types, including M12 and DT connectors, specifying wire colors and pin assignments.
Contact Information: Includes contact details for Temposonics offices in the United States, Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Scandinavia, China, and Japan.
Additional Resources: Manuals, software, and 3D models are available on the Temposonics website.

Temposonics® MH-Series SLIM 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 magnetic...
