Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSA

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the MAGNOSENS magnetostrictive displacement transducers, specifically the MPA (profile version) and MSA (rod version) models. These transducers are designed for precise, contactless measurement of displacement with high resolution and linearity.
Specifications: The transducers offer measuring strokes from 50 to 7600 mm, with a resolution of 0.0015% (16-bit) and linearity of 0.01%. They support measurement signals of 0(4) ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, or ± 10V, and are protected up to IP 68. The operating temperature range is -40 °C to +75 °C, with the rod version being pressure stable up to 350 bar.
Structure and Operation: The transducers operate on the principle of run time measurement between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. The system is housed in a pressure-resistant stainless steel tube or extruded profile, with electronics contained in a die-cast aluminium housing. Electrical connections are made via a circular connector.
Programming and Diagnosis: The transducers can be programmed for specific measuring tasks using the PMA-01 programming device. Diagnostic LEDs indicate sensor status, with various combinations of green and red lights indicating normal function, magnet absence, or setting mode.
Technical Data: The document details supply voltage, current, resolution, linearity, repeatability, hysteresis, measuring frequency, temperature drift, and protection types. It also specifies output signals, connection types, and installation materials.
Installation and Accessories: Installation instructions emphasize shielding from magnetic fields and proper grounding. Accessories include position magnets, mating connectors, and mounting clamps. The document also provides detailed dimensions and installation guidelines for both MPA and MSA models.
Key Recommendations: Use non-magnetisable materials for sensor fastening and ensure proper installation to avoid interference from magnetic fields. Follow specific guidelines for installation in magnetisable materials.

MAGNOSENSMagnetostrictive Displacement Transducers Model series MPA / MSA: Analogue output, programmable ■ MPA model: Profile version ■ MSA model: Rod version ■ Measuring strokes from 50 to 7600 mm ■ Contactless, robust system ■ Resolution 0.0015% (16-bit) ■ Linearity 0.01% ■ Option: 2 position magnets or speed signal ■ Measurement signals 0(4) ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V or ± 10V ■ Protection types up to IP 68 ■ Operating temperature range - 40 °C ... + 75 °C ■ Rod version pressure stability up to 350 bar Structure and operation The displacement transducers operate according to the principle of run time measurement between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. One point is determined by a moveable position magnet, whose distance from the null point corresponds to the section to be measured. The run time of an emitted impulse is directly proportionate to this section. Conversion to an analogue measuring signal takes place in the downstream electronics. The waveguide is housed in a pressure-resistant stainless steel tube or extruded profile. To the rear of this is a die-cast aluminium housing containing the electronics in SMD technology. Electrical connection is implemented via a circular connector. In the rod version, the position magnet is located in a ring, which is guided over the rod without contact. In the profile version, it is located either in a slider, which is linked to the moving part of the machine via a ball joint, or it moves as a liftable position magnet, without wear, over the profile. Standard measuring strokes: □ Up to 1000 mm in 50 mm steps □ Up to 5000 mm in 250 mm steps (profile version: MPA) □ Up to 7600 mm in 250 mm steps (rod version: MSA) TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH ■ PB. 10 50 63 ■ D-40041 Dusseldorf ■ Tel.: +49/211/63 20 67 ■ Fax: +49/211/63 77 05 ■ [email protected] ■
