LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers) are a form of inductive sensors that are especially suited for applications in harsh environments and high temperature. The measurement is performed via a spring-loaded probe or a guided rod, that is attached to an iron-nickel core. The core moves inside a primary and two secondary coils, that generate an electromagnetic field. The movement of the core affects the electromagnetic field and the external electronics can interpreted this into an analog output signal. ► Rod variants: spring loaded (optional with bellows), guided or with ball joint...

Features Laser sensors are optoelectronic sensors and are excellent for fast and accurate measurement without touching the measurement object due to their high resolution, accuracy and measuring rate. ► Special versions for low-reflective surfaces ► Fast measuring frequencies up to 5 kHz ► Spot and line lasers ► Measurement through glass ► Sensor with integrated display

Features Linear potentiometer essentially consists of a resistor and a moving wiper contact. The attractive cost-to-performance ratio, the variety of housings and types of installation make these sensors ideal for simple measuring tasks. ► Versions for pneumatic and hydraulic cylinders ► Various designs including spring loaded potentiometers ► Versions with 4... 20 mA output signal ► Stainless steel versions available ► Flexible mounting using brackets, rod end bearings or flange ► Optional teachable electronics 0...10 V l) based on the measurement range

Features Magnetic Scales are useful for metering ranges under industrial conditions like plant construction, engine building or testing equipment. Because of the freedom from wear and the impassiveness towards dirt, Magnetic Scales are qualify for surroundings in that swarf or metal splinters are accrued. ► Wear-free path measurement, impassiveness towards dirt ► Output: analog or digital ► Magnetic scale with top strip made of stainless steel 11 Additional deviation by magnetic tape

Non-contact inductive sensors generate a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Eddy currents are generated in metallic measuring objects within this field, which lead to a change in inductance. This distortion of the inductance is in turn influenced by the distance, the material and the size of the object. The sensor detects the change in inductance and converts it into a proportional output signal. ► Precise and wear free measurement on metallic objects ► Measurement ranges from 0...2 mm to 0...24 mm ► Cylindrical housing with thread for easy installation ► ISZL: Standard series for various...

The distance, the position or the change of position of an electrically conductive material can be detected contactless and wear-free by an eddy current sensor. A high-frequency alternating current feeds a coil in the sensor head. The resulting electromagnetic field induces an eddy current in the material to be measured, perpendicular to the excitation field. The resulting change in the AC resistance of the coil is directly proportional to the distance of the sensor from the target material. ► Precise and wear-free measurement on metallic objects ► Measurement range up to 0...30 mm without blind...

Features Magnetostrictive displacement transducers do not wear and have been successfully used in automation, fill-level measurement and hydraulic cylinders pressures up to 350 bar for many years. ► Non-contact displacement transducer, therefore maintenance-free ► Measurement of 2 positions possible ► Version with position & speed ► With floats for fill-level measurement ► Variants for pneumatic cylinders 11 based on the measurement range

Features These sensor classes engage angle changes of rotating parts with highest precision. The measurement process of the Digital Encoders are based on periodic graduation marks that are available as incremental TTL, HTL, or absolute in terms of Bus Interfaces like Profibus or SSI. On the contrary analog Rotary Transducers are working by Potentiometers. ► Wide spectrum of output signals ► Solid shaft, hollow shaft and through hollow shaft ► Miscellaneous kinds of flanges ► Flange-mounting on wire rope mechanics

Features Ultrasonic sensors operate by measuring the travel time of sound waves. They measure the distance to the measurement object, without contact and regardless of colour and material. The WayCon ultrasonic product range offers a variety of different designs and special solutions. ► Distance sensor and/or proximity switch ► Detection of liquids or bulk material ► Version with minimised sound beam ► Durable, robust sensors ► UBA: fork sensor for edge detection 1 based on the measurement range

Features Capacitive displacement sensors have an extremely high resolution and work even under demanding conditions, where other sensors fail. The noncontract and wear-free measuring principle has proven successful for many decades. ► Resolution in nanometer range ► Very high sensitivity 1 Depending on the connected electronics

Features Length gauges of the GMR series have integrated electronics and a photoelectric linear encoder. They are suitable for high-precision measurements and a wide range of applications. Areas of application are, for example, in production measurement technology, multi-point inspection stations and measuring equipment monitoring. ► Photoelectric linear encoder l) L = actual measured length (mm)
