High Precision PerformanceAchieve repeatability as precise as 0.01 mm across stroke lengths up to 5000 mm. The magnetostrictive technology ensures accurate, non-contact measurement-ideal for applications where reliability and minimal wear are essential.
Flexible Connectivity OptionsThe transducer seamlessly integrates into various systems using analog or digital output (SSI, CANopen, Profibus) interfaces. Multiple connector types including M12, M16, and cable outlet allow installation adaptability in diverse industrial setups.
Durability in Demanding ConditionsDesigned to withstand tough environments, the housing is made of AISI 304/316 stainless steel, has IP67 sealing, and endures up to 350 bar operating pressure. Its robust shock and vibration resistance makes it suitable for continuous use in heavy-duty machinery.
FAQ's of Germanjet Linear Transducer:
Q: How do I install the Germanjet Linear Transducer in my hydraulic cylinder application?
A: The transducer can be mounted using either a threaded flange or bracket, supporting flexible installation into hydraulic cylinders. It is essential to ensure correct alignment of the sensor body and secure attachments to leverage its measurement accuracy.
Q: What output signal options are available for system integration?
A: Germanjet transducers offer digital outputs (SSI, CANopen, Profibus) and analog signals (0-10V, 4-20mA), easily configurable for compatibility with industrial control systems and PLCs. Select the format that matches your system's communication protocols.
Q: When should I consider customizing the stroke length?
A: Custom stroke lengths-between 50 mm and 5000 mm-should be specified based on your application's measurement range requirements. This ensures optimal sensor performance and accuracy tailored to your equipment's dimensions.
Q: Where can the Germanjet Linear Transducer be used?
A: It is suitable for industrial automation, hydraulic cylinders, and other environments demanding precision feedback, resilience, and longevity. The stainless steel, IP67-rated housing provides robustness for both indoor and outdoor installations.
Q: What benefits does non-contact magnetostrictive technology provide?
A: Non-contact measurement eliminates mechanical wear, increasing lifespan and reducing maintenance. This approach also enhances accuracy, response time, and durability, particularly in high-cycle and high-pressure applications.
Q: How does the transducer handle harsh conditions such as extreme temperatures or vibration?
A: With resistance to 100 g shocks and 15 g vibrations, and an operating temperature range from -40C to +85C, the transducer reliably performs in demanding industrial and hydraulic environments, maintaining stable measurement and data integrity.
