WRG-A
CONTACTLESS MAGNETOSTRICTIVE LINEAR POSITION
TRANSDUCER (ANALOG OUTPUT)
Main characteristics
• Magnetostrictive technology
• Strokes from 50 to 1500 mm
• Optimized mechanical structure
•
Rod, nipple, exagonal flange AISI 316
• Work temperature: -20....+75°C
• Resistance to vibrations (DIN IEC68T2/6 12g)
• Power supply 24Vdc ± 20%
• Protection IP67
• Electromagnetic compatibility EMC 2014/30/EU
• Compliant to the directive RoHS 2011/65/EU
Contactless linear position transducer with magnetostrictive
technology.
The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates all wear
and guarantees almost unlimited life.
The analog interface, available with different voltage ranges or in
current, with direct and reverse output guarantees greater flexibility
of installation and adaptation to pre-existing systems.
High accuracy of the mesurement with reference to the non linearity,
repeatability and hysteresis. High resistance to vibrations, mechanical
shocks for use in a harsh industrial environment.

Transducer element
(machine ground)
The magnetostrictive transducers
of the WRG-A series supply a direct
and reverse analogue output in
voltage (0....10 / 10....0 Vcc) and
current (4...20 mA / 20...4 mA).
The outputs are direct, no signal
conditioning is required if they
are interfaced with a controller or
measuring instrument.
