Principle of operation and system construction
The absolute, linear position sensors provided by MTS Sensors
rely on the company’s proprietary Temposonics®magnetostrictive
technology, which can determine position with a high level of precision
and robustness. Each Temposonics®position sensor consists of a
ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain pulse converter
and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in
motion in the application, generates a magnetic field at its location on
the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide.
This creates a momentary radial magnetic field and torsional strain
on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the magnetic
fields releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the length
of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of the
waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed
of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time
required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear
position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability.
Fig. 2: Principle of operation: Time-based magnetostrictive position sensing principle
Modular mechanical and electronic construction
• The sensor rod protects the inner sensor element.
• The sensor electronics housing, a rugged stainless steel
construction, contains the complete electronic interface with active
signal conditioning.
• The external position magnet is a permanent magnet. It travels
along the sensor rod and triggers the measurement through the
sensor rod wall.
• The sensor can be connected directly to a control system.
Its electronics generates a strictly position-proportional signal
output between zero and end position.

Hydraulics sealing
To seal the flange contact surface:
A sealing via an O-ring in the undercut via O-ring 29.6 × 2.9 mm
(part no. 561968)
In the case of threaded flange M33×2-6h, provide a screw hole based
on ISO 6149-1. See ISO 6149-1 for further information.
• Note the fastening torque of 310 Nm.
• Seat the flange contact surface completely on the cylinder
mounting surface.
• The cylinder manufacturer determines the pressure-resistant
gasket (copper gasket, O-ring, etc.).
• The position magnet should not rub on the sensor rod.
• The piston rod drilling
(Ø 12.7 mm rod: ≥ Ø 16 mm)
depends on the pressure and piston speed.
• Adhere to the information relating to operating pressure.
• Protect the sensor rod against wear.
Fig. 5: Sensor in fluid cylinder
Installation of a rod-style sensor in a fluid cylinder
The rod-style version has been developed for direct stroke
measurement in a fluid cylinder. Mount the sensor via threaded flange.
Use non-magnetic material for mounting support.
• Mounted on the face of the piston, the position magnet travels
over the rod without touching it and indicates the exact position
through the rod wall – independent of the hydraulic fluid.
• The pressure resistant sensor rod is installed into a bore in the
piston rod.
Step 1
1. Insert sensor into cylinder
Be careful not to drop or cause impact to the sensor
2. Screw the sensor into the cylinder by hand (< 10 Nm)
3. Stop rotation when sensor is flush with the cylinder
(do not use much force in step 2. It should screw in smoothly)
Step 2
Tighten sensor to a torque of 310 Nm

4.4 Electrical connections
Placement of installation and cabling have decisive influence on
the sensor‘s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Hence correct
installation of this active electronic system and the EMC of the entire
system must be ensured by using suitable metal connectors, shielded
cables and grounding. Overvoltages or faulty connections can damage
its electronics despite protection against wrong polarity.
Instructions for connection
• Use low-resistant twisted pair and shielded cables. Connect
the shield to ground externally via the controller equipment.
• Keep control and signal leads separate from power cables and
sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency inverters,
valve lines, relays, etc..
• Use only connectors with metal housing and connect the shielding
to the connector housing.
• Keep the connection surface at both shielding ends as large
as possible. Connect the cable clamps to function as a ground.
• Keep all non-shielded leads as short as possible.
• Keep the earth connection as short as possible with a large
cross section. Avoid ground loops.
• With potential differences between machine and electronics earth
connections, no compensating currents are allowed to flow across
the cable shielding.
Recommendation:
Install potential compensating leads with large cross section,
or use cables with separate double shielding, and connect only
one end of the shield.
• Use only stabilized power supplies in compliance with the
specified connecting values.
NOTICE
1. Do not mount the sensors in the area of strong magnetic or
electric noise fields.
2. Never connect / disconnect the sensor when voltage is applied.
