Converts position of actuator within the sensing range to numerical values.
1- Analog output (1 to 5 VDC) is standard equipment and detected position can be moni-
tored from controller.
2- Four-point switching output makes it possible to detect position in measured range.
3- Compatible with wide range ol Koganei actuators because sensor heads are same
shape as ZE types and D4 types.
Normal reed switches are intended to sense the end position of the actuator’s operation and the position where it stops in the middle; so their characteristic sensing range is narrow. While linear magnetic sensor controllers can be set to turn on at any point within the sensing range, which is because they convert the variations in the magnetic flux of the sensor magnets to numerical values. With the long types (ZL2), the sensing range is 3 times larger than existing product (ZL1) (in-house comparison).
