Linear position sensor MH-Series MH Safety (SIL 2)

non-contactmagnetostrictiveanalog

Covering a measurement range from 50mm to 2500mm, the popular MH series has seen further expansion and now includes devices with Signal Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) compliant functional safety, in accordance with IEC 61508. These sensors deliver a Safe Failure Fraction (SFF) of 95% at a Hardware Fault Tolerance (HFT) of 0. Their average probability of failure (PFH) is ≥10-7. During the 2016 BAUMA event in Munich, MTS Sensors will be showcasing its latest product innovations relating to the construction equipment market. Optimised for deployment inside space-constrained hydraulic cylinders, the compact position sensing devices developed by MTS employ the company’s proprietary Temposonics magnetostrictive technology. This ensures the highest degrees of accuracy are maintained even in the most challenging of operational environments. The positions sensors that Temposonics manufactures can withstand shocks of up to 100g, as well as 20g vibration levels without any compromise to their performance.
