Temposonics Sensor Selector Guide Industry

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Temposonics offers magnetostrictive linear position sensors for industrial applications such as metalworking, wood processing, and renewable energy. These sensors are valued for their precision, durability, and long lifespan, attributed to their design that avoids moving parts.
Technology Overview
The sensors utilize Temposonics' proprietary magnetostrictive technology, which includes a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, and a strain pulse converter. This technology generates a torsional strain pulse through magnetic field interaction, which is then converted into an electrical signal for precise position determination.
