Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSC

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the MAGNOSENS magnetostrictive displacement transducers, specifically the MPC (profile version) and MSC (rod version) models. These transducers are designed for precise, contactless measurement of displacement with high linearity and resolution.
Specifications:
  • Models: MPC (Profile), MSC (Rod)
  • Measuring Strokes: 50 to 2500 mm (analogue), up to 7600 mm (start/stop)
  • Output Signals: 0(4) ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, ± 10 V, or start/stop signal
  • Protection Type: Up to IP 68
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to +80°C, up to 100°C for start/stop version
  • Pressure Stability: Up to 350 bar
Structure and Operation: The transducers function based on the runtime measurement principle between two points of a magnetostrictive waveguide. The position magnet's distance from the null point is measured, and the runtime of an emitted impulse is proportional to this distance. The waveguide is housed in a pressure-resistant tube or profile, with electronics housed in a die-cast aluminium casing.
Standard Designs and Output Signals:
  • Output signals include 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, ±10 V, and start/stop.
  • Programming allows for easy adjustment of measuring start and end points using the PMC-01 programming device.
Technical Data:
  • Supply Voltage: 24 VDC (+20 / -15%)
  • Resolution: Practically infinite for analogue, variable for start/stop
  • Linearity: < ± 0.02%
  • Repeatability: < ± 0.001%
  • Temperature Drift: < 40 ppm/°C
  • Shock and Vibration Resistance: 100 g and 15 g respectively, according to IEC standards
Installation and Accessories: The document provides detailed installation instructions, emphasizing the use of non-magnetic materials for sensor fastening. Accessories include various position magnets and mounting clamps. Proper shielding from magnetic and electromagnetic fields is crucial during installation.
Order Code Format: The document outlines the format for ordering transducers, specifying design, measuring stroke, signal curve, and output signals.

Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSC-1

MAGNOSENS Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducers Model series MPC / MSC: Analogue output or start/stop ■ MPC model: Profile version ■ MSC model: Rod version ■ Measuring strokes from 50 to 2500 mm (analogue) to 7600 mm (start / stop) ■ Contactless, robust system ■ Infinite resolution ■ Linearity < 0.02 % ■ Measurement signals 0(4) ... 20 mA, 0 ... 10 V, ± 10 V or start/stop signal ■ Protection type up to IP 68 ■ Operating temperature range - 40 °C ... + 80 °C, optionally up to 100°C for start/stop 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: Analogue and start/stop: □ Up to 1000 mm in 50 mm steps Analogue output: □ Up to 2500 mm in 250 mm steps Start/stop: □ Up to 5000 (profile) / 7600 (rod) mm in 250 mm steps
