Contactless magnetostrictive position sensor

According to the manufacturer, the sensors in the series are not only extremely accurate and resistant to EMC interference and vibrations, they are also equipped with the IO-Link 1.1 interface. This guarantees integration and communication with Industry 4.0 architectures in medium-sized and large machines for a wide variety of industries.

The new cULus-certified WPL sensors with IO-Link output share the advantages of magnetostrictive Hyperwave technology with the rest of the product range: Even with typical field disturbances such as shock, vibration, EMC disturbances and thermal drift, they are 15 times higher Signal amplification than conventional models, a resolution of less than 0.5 µm (only for SSI version) and high measurement stability.
