Application
Temposonics®position sensors are used for measurement and con-
version of the length (position) variable in the fields of automated sys-
tems and mechanical engineering.
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.
Modular mechanical and electronic construction
• The sensor rod or profile protects the inner sensor element.
• The sensor electronics housing, a rugged aluminum construction,
contains the complete electronic interface with active signal
conditioning. Double shielding ensures high safety of operation and
optimum EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
• The external position magnet is a permanent magnet. Mounted on
the mobile machine part, it travels along the sensor rod or profile
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 start and end position.

4.2 Styles and installation of Temposonics® RP
Fig. 4: Temposonics®RP with U-magnet
Installation of RP
The position sensor can be installed in any position. Normally, the
sensor is firmly installed and the position magnet is fastened to the
mobile machine part. Thus it can travel along the sensor profile. The
sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface using the mounting clamps
(Fig. 5). A length-dependent number of these clamps is delivered with
the sensor and must be distributed over the profile at regular distances.
For fastening use M5×20 screws to DIN 6912 that should be tightened
with a fastening torque of 5 Nm.
Fig. 5: Mounting clamps (part no. 400 802) with cylinder screw M5×20
Controlling design dimensions are in millimeters and measurements in ( ) are in inches
Fig. 6: T-slot nut M5 (part no. 401 602)
NOTICE
Take care to mount the sensor in an axially parallel
position to avoid damage to magnet and sensor.
Alternative: If only limited space is available, the profile sensor can be
mounted also via the T-rail in the profile bottom using an T-slot nut M5
(part no. 401 602) or a sliding block (Fig. 6).

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
or a hex nut.
• 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.
• The base unit is mounted by means of only two screws. It is the
only part that needs to be replaced if servicing is required, i.e. the
hydraulic circuit remains closed. For more information see chapter
“4.8 Replacement of sensor” on page 37.
Hydraulics sealing
There are two ways to seal the flange contact surface (Fig. 11):
1. A sealing by using an O-ring (e.g. 22.4 × 2.65 mm (0.88 × 0.1 in.),
25.07 × 2.62 mm (0.99 × 0.1 in.)) in a cylinder bottom groove.
2. A sealing by using an O-ring in the undercut.
For threaded flange (¾"-16 UNF-3A) »H« / »S« / »T« / »U«:
O-ring 16.4 × 2.2 mm (0.65 × 0.09 in.) (part no. 560 315)
For threaded flange (M18×1.5-6g) »D« / »M« / »R«/ »V«:
O-ring 15.3 × 2.2 mm (0.60 × 0.09 in.) (part no. 401133)
For threaded flange (M22×1.5-6g) »J«:
O-ring 19.2 × 2.2 mm (0.76 × 0.09 in.) (part no. 561 337)

• Note the fastening torque of:
RH-D/-H /-M / -R /-S / -T / -U / -V: 50 Nm
RH-J: 125 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 grind on the sensor rod.
• The piston rod drilling
(RH-H /-M / -R /-S / -T / -U / -V: Ø 10 mm rod: ≥ Ø 13 mm (≥ Ø 0.51 in.);
RH-D: Ø 10 mm rod: ≥ Ø 16 mm (≥ Ø 0.63 in.);
RH-J: Ø 12.7 mm rod: ≥ Ø 16 mm (≥ Ø 0.63 in.))
depends on the pressure and piston speed.
• Adhere to the information relating to operating pressure.
•Protect the sensor rod against wear.
