Ultra-flat, Contact-less: Position Sensor for Space-restricted Applications

ASM presents a contact-less ultra-flat magnetostrictive position sensor for space-restricted applications such as in mobile machines or industrial vehicles.

posichronPCFP25 is an absolute, non-contact and wear-free position sensor with measurement ranges from 100 mm up to 5,750 mm. The sensor system consists of a magnetostrictive waveguide and a moveable position magnet. The dimension of the slim profile is only 8 mm in thickness. The sensor is resistant to dirt, moisture and dust, and resists shocks up to 50g and has protection class IP67. The ultra-slim posichron PCFP25 profile was designed especially to suite limited space applications such as crane outriggers.

Analog and digital outputs are available. The sensor reaches a linearity up to ±0,02% f.s. For safety applications the sensor can be mounted in redundant design. The posichronPCFP25 sensor thus provides a robust tailor-made solution for narrow contruction spaces in mobile machines or industrial vehicles.
