Benefits of Magnetostriction
Temposonics linear-position sensors use the time-based magneto-
strictive position sensing principle developed by MTS. Within the
sensing element, a sonic-strain pulse is induced in a specially designed
magnetostrictive waveguide by the momentary interaction of two
magnetic fields. One field comes from a movable permanent magnet
that passes along the outside of the sensor. The other field comes
from an “interrogation” current pulse applied along the waveguide.
The resulting strain pulse travels at sonic speed along the waveguide
and is detected at the head of the sensing element.
The position of the magnet is determined with high precision and
speed by accurately measuring the elapsed time between the applica-
tion of the interrogation pulse and the arrival of the resulting strain
pulse with a high-speed counter. The elapsed time measurement is
directly proportional to the position of the permanent magnet and is
an absolute value. Therefore, the sensor's output signal corresponds
to absolute position, instead of incremental, and never requires
recalibration or re-homing after a power loss. Absolute, non-contact
sensing eliminates wear, and guarantees the best durability and output
repeatability.

SELECTION OF POSITION MAGNETS
A choice of two magnet mounting configurations are available with the profile-style sensor; A ‘captive-sliding’ magnet, Styles Sor Vor an
‘open-ring’ magnet, Style M. Captive-sliding magnets utilize slide bearings of special material that reduce friction, and if required, help mitigate
dirt build up. The slide bearings are designed to operate dry, requiring no external lubrication or maintenance.
The Style M ‘open-ring’ magnet mounts on the moving machine part and travels just above the sensor’s profile extrusion. The open-ring
magnet requires a minimum distance away from ferrous metals to allow proper sensor output. It must be mounted using non-ferrous screws
and a non-ferrous support bracket, or utilize a non-ferrous spacer of at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thickness.

Sensor mounting
Model RP profile-style sensor mounting flexible installation in any position!
Temposonics Model RP profile-style sensors offer two basic mounting methods; side grooves for use with mounting feet or a bottom groove
that accepts special T-Slot nuts. Both the mounting feet and T-Slot nuts can be positioned along the sensor extrusion to best secure the sensor
for each particular application.
Notes:
1. Model RP sensors include two mounting feet (part no. 400802) for sensors stroke lengths up to 1250 mm (50 in.)
2. One additional mounting foot is included for stroke lengths over 1250 mm (50 in.) and for each additional 500 mm (20 in.),
thereafter.
3. MTS recommends using 10-32 cap screws (customer supplied) at a maximum torque of 44 in. lbs. when fastening mounting feet.

The Temposonics R-Series rod-style sensor (Model RH) offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations, and easy installation.
The Model RH sensor is designed for mounting in applications where high pressure conditions exist (5000 psi continuous, 10,000 psi spike)
such as inside hydraulic cylinders. The Model RH sensor (see 'Figure 5') may also be mounted externally in many applications.

The position magnet requires minimum distances away from ferrous
metals to allow proper sensor output. The minimum distance from the
front of the magnet to the cylinder end cap is 15 mm (0.6 in.).
The minimum distance from the back of the magnet to the piston head
is 3.2 mm (0.125 in.). However, a minimum distance of at least 5 mm
(0.197 in.) is preferred for added performance margin.The non-ferrous
spacer (part no.: 400633) provides this minimum distance when used
along with the standard ring magnet (part no.: 201542-2), as shown
in 'Figure 7'.

Cylinder installation
When used for direct-stroke measurement in fluid cylinders, the sen-
sor's high pressure, stainless steel rod installs into a bore in the piston
head/rod assembly as shown in 'Figure 8'. This method guarantees a
long-life and trouble-free operation.
The sensor cartridge can be removed from the flange and rod hous-
ing while still installed in the cylinder. This procedure allows quick
and easy sensor cartridge replacement without the loss of hydraulic
pressure.
The sensor’s rod housing and flange can remain
permanently installed in the cylinder

and sensing element and is easy to replace by removing
