New magnetoresistive non-contact position sensor
The Posimag position sensor uses a compact non-contact sensor head which moves above a magnetic strip; it is robust and fast, and has high resistance to dust, moisture and many fluids.
The PCST25 suits hostile environments reducing downtime caused by sensor failure.
It is a contact-free and wear-free position sensor measuring system.
The sensor carries out an absolute position measurement and is equipped with 0 to 10V analogue outputs, or 4-20mA to enable a smooth integration into hydraulic control systems.
The PCST25 has measurement ranges up to 5750mm and linearity up to 0.02% for high accuracy.
Due to their high electrical compatibility and high resistance against shock and vibrations, the sensors are suitable for applications in hostile environments, such as in mobile vehicle hydraulics.
They can be built in almost any hydraulic cylinder, and the position measurement can be carried out directly within the cylinder.
Various mounting flanges are available.
