Fig.2: Time-of-flight based magnetostrictive position sensing principle
Modular mechanical and electronic construction
• The sensor rod or profile protects the inner sensor element.
• The sensor electronics housing, a rugged construction, contains
the complete electronic interface with active signal conditioning.
• 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.
MEASURING TECHNOLOGY
The absolute, linear position sensors provided by Temposonics rely on
the company’s proprietary 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 a supporting
electronics. The magnet, connected to the object in motion in the
application, generates a magnetic eld at its location on the waveguide.
A short current pulse is applied to the waveguide. This creates a
momentary radial magnetic eld and torsional strain on the waveguide.
The momentary interaction of the magnetic elds releases a torsional
strain pulse that propagates the length of the waveguide. When the
ultrasonic wave reaches the beginning 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.

O-ring 15.3 × 2.2 mm (0.60 × 0.09 in.) (part no. 401133)
4.2 Styles and installation of Temposonics® EH
• Note the fastening torque of 50 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
(EH-K/-L: Ø 7 mm rod: ≥ Ø 10 mm (≥ Ø 0.40 in.);
EH-M/-S/-F/-W: Ø 10 mm rod: ≥ Ø 13 mm (≥ Ø 0.52 in.))
depends on the pressure and piston speed.
• Adhere to the information relating to operating pressure.
• Protect the sensor rod against wear.
Installation of EH with threaded flange
Fix the sensor rod via threaded flange M18×1.5-6g or ¾"-16 UNF-3A.
Fig.3: Temposonics®EH sensor
Fig.4: Mounting example of threaded flange
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.
Fig.5: Sensor in cylinder
In the case of threaded flange M18×1.5-6g, a screw hole based on
ISO 6149-1 (Fig.7) must be provided. See ISO 6149-1 for further

Fig.8: E-Series EP and EL with magnet slider
Installation of EP/EL
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 measuring
rod without touching it. The sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface
using the mounting clamps (Fig.9). A length-dependent number of
these clamps are 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.

NOTICE
Take care to mount the sensor in an axially parallel position to
avoid damage of the carriage, magnet and sensor rod.
Installation of EP2
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 measuring
rod without touching it. The sensor is fitted on a flat machine surface
using the mounting clamps (Fig.12). A length-dependent number of
these clamps are 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.

4.6 Magnet installation
Sensors with stroke lengths ≥ 1 meter (3.3 ft.)
Support horizontally installed sensors with a stroke length from
1 meter (3.3 ft.) mechanically at the rod end. Without the use
of a support, rod and position magnet may be damaged. A false
measurement result is also possible. Longer rods require evenly
distributed mechanical support over the entire length (e.g. part no.
561 481). Use an U-magnet (Fig.19) for measurement.
NOTICE
Mount ring magnets and U-magnets concentrically.
Mount block magnets centrically over the sensor rod or the sensor
profile. Do not exceed the maximum acceptable gap (Fig.16,
Fig.17).
Controlling design dimensions are in millimeters and measurements in ( ) are in inches
Fig. 15: Typical use of magnets
Mounting the ring magnets, U-magnets & block magnets
Install the magnet using non-magnetic material for mounting
device, screws, spacers etc.. The magnet must not grind on
the sensor rod. Alignment errors are compensated via the air gap.
• Permissible surface pressure: Max. 40 N/mm2 (only for ring
magnets and U-magnets)
• Fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm; use washers, if necessary
• Minimum distance between position magnet and any magnetic
material has to be 15 mm (0.6 in.) (Fig.18).
• If no other option exists and magnetic material is used,
observe the specified dimensions (Fig.18).
Magnet mounting with magnetic material
When using magnetic material the dimensions of Fig.18 must
be observed.
A If the position magnet aligns with the drilled piston rod
B If the position magnet is set further into the drilled piston rod,
install another non-magnetic spacer above the magnet.

4.7 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 sign 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.
Grounding of profile and rod sensors
Connect the sensor electronics housing to machine ground. Ground
sensor types EP, EL, EP2 and ER via ground lug as shown in Fig.23.
The sensor type EH is grounded via thread.
*/ The use of shielded cables is a recommendation of Temposonics to afford a better
protection against signal disturbances
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.

NOTICE
For multi-position measurement, use magnets of the same type.
Do not fall below the minimum distance between the magnets of
75mm (3 in.) for multi-position measurement. Contact Temposonics
