ASM Sensors released a contact-less magnetostrictive position sensor for space-restricted applications such as in mobile machines.

posichron PCFP25 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 profile is 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 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 posichron PCFP25 sensor thus provides a tailor-made solution for narrow construction spaces in mobile machines or other industrial applications.
