Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and operational details for the MAGNOSENS Magnetostrictive Displacement Transducers, specifically the MPE (Profile version) and MSE (Rod version) models. These transducers are designed for precise, contactless measurement of displacement with high resolution and linearity.
Specifications:
  • Measuring strokes range from 25 to 7600 mm.
  • Resolution up to 1 µm and linearity less than 0.01%.
  • Operating temperature range from -40°C to +75°C.
  • Protection types up to IP 68, with rod version pressure stability up to 350 bar.
Structure and Operation: The transducers operate on the principle of runtime 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 aluminum housing.
Programming and Configuration: The transducers are factory-set to ordered variables such as data length, format, resolution, measuring direction, and alarm values. They support differential measurement and can output speed values instead of position.
Technical Data:
  • Supply voltage: 24VDC with polarity reversal protection.
  • Supply current: 100 mA typical.
  • Repeatability: < ± 0.001%.
  • Hysteresis: < 4 µm.
  • Measuring frequency: 500 to 3700 Hz.
  • Temperature drift: < 15 ppm/°C.
  • Shock and vibration tests conform to IEC standards.
Electrical Connections: The transducers use a 7-pin connector with specific pin assignments for data and power signals. They support SSI output with a maximum baud rate of 1.0 MBaud.
Installation and Accessories: The document provides detailed installation instructions, emphasizing the use of non-magnetisable materials for mounting. Accessories include various position magnets and connectors.
Diagnostics: LEDs on the sensor head indicate operational status, with specific signals for normal function, magnet detection, and sensor synchronization.
Order Code Format: The document outlines the format for ordering transducers, specifying model, design, measuring stroke, resolution, and interface type.

Magnetostrictive displacement transducer MSE-1

■ Model MPE: Profile version ■ Model MSE: Rod version ■ Measuring strokes from 25 to 7600 mm ■ Contactless, robust system ■ Resolution up to 1 pm ■ Linearity < 0.01% ■ 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 a digital 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: MPE) □ Up to 7600 mm in 250 mm steps (rod version: MSE) Programming ex work The displacement transducer is set to its ordered variables in the factory, as follows: □ Data length □ Data format □ Resolution (ref. to order code format) □ Measuring direction (ref. to order code format) □ Position value for start of measurement □ Alarm value for error (magnet removed) □ Differential measurement □ Speed value instead of position TWK-ELEKTRONIK GmbH ■ PB. 10 50 63 ■ D-40041 Dusseldorf ■ Tel.: +49/211/63 20 67 ■ Fax: +49/211/63 77 05 ■ [email protected] ■
